Osiedle Giszowiec, Katowice

We were only passing through, but the estate clearly drew our attention. Nicely landscaped, quiet, calm, with low buildings 1-or 2-family cottages. As if unreal in the region of the bustling and haste of Upper Silesia. Very intimate, inviting place to live.

I visited Giszowiec, which is a district of Katowice with a unique charm. It is a place with beautiful houses mostly two-family. They were built at the beginning of the 20TH century. Unfortunately, in 1968 the decision was made to demolition the old building of Giszowiec and placed high blocks. Around 1/3, the old Giszowiec buildings remained. They are now owned by the owners renewed and well maintained. In the gardens grow colorful raspberries, floksy, rose bushes, hydranges and many other flowers. The square beneath the linden trees is surrounded by a service-oriented stone. In the park there is an inn building and a cultural house. The beautiful old trees are attracted to the attention. There is also a chamber of memory with a gallery of paintings by Ewelina Gawlik-Silesian Van Gogh. In Giszowiec there are streets with names such as: Nice, joyful, pleasant, friendly, floral, partition, etc. It is really worth a look and take a stroll in the area of beautiful gardens!!!
