So we are in the middle of the coldest month in our climate zone but luckily for me we have a very mild winter now. Only a lit bit of snow and 2C degrees during night and zero at night.
Katowice our province capital city
It was 150 years old last year
Charming old house from 19th century
The first brick building in Katowice.
- Neo-Romanesque Lord's Resurrection Evangelical Church from 1858. First brick sacral object in Katowice .
It's interesting that a house would have a clock on the top. Beautiful details on the building.
ReplyDeleteI believe it was popular in the past
DeleteThe first brick building is nice, I bet that was a great achievement back then in 1858.
ReplyDeleteMargaret you are righr the previous church was made of wood but the fire destroyed it so thety decided to build from brick
DeleteThank you for always sharing your beautiful place to us Gosia! That old 19th century house is a real charm dear!
ReplyDeleteI love old houses they have their chracter
DeleteA mixture of the very old and modern buildings. I always feel that the old buildings are very attractive.
ReplyDeleteI believe old buildigs definitely are much more atrractive than modern ones
Deletelovely contrast between the old and the new :)
ReplyDeleteKatowice is a young city so most buildings are new
DeleteRemarkable difference in architecture - the old buildings of Katowice have class and style, the new look like boxes!
ReplyDeleteAre these "newer" buildings from the period after WW2 up to the time when Poland untied the shackles of the Warsaw Pact
of Soviet "control"?
The buildings in Berlin on the West side and the Soviet controlled side were in stark difference before that hideous
Wall came down.

MCollin in /Katowice there are a lot of skyscripers which were build in 1970s and look like boxes . So it is typical for the countries which were controlled by Soviet Union in the past
DeleteThat house from the 19th century is beautiful. And nothing beats the crispness of a winter sky.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is the same. Yes that day the sky was charming
DeleteBeautiful pictures! Especially that charming old house! Everything is so crisp and clear!
