What is the history of the property?
Hornigold invites you to the centre of Katowice, a vibrant city in the south of Poland with a rich culture. The apartment building offers comfortable and luxurious accommodation, a perfect place for both short and longer stays.
What was the era and/or the architectural style in which the property was built?
Located in a historic modernist townhouse from 1914, designed by Robert Zimmermann. The architecture of Katowice is mainly a product of industrial development that characterized the last 160 years. Apart from Łódź and Gdynia, Katowice belongs to the small group of large Polish cities, the centers of which do not originate from the medieval founding city. Hornigold Apartments "In Zielona Kamienica" were born out of dreams. We wanted to create a space that would not only be a service building or hotel, as there are many in Katowice, but a brand that is authentic, recognized and liked. In our projects, we are always inspired by the history of the region, and we use the knowledge about it in our own, original way. The tenement house from 1914, in which we are located, apparently resembles others, stretching along Kopernika Street.On the one hand, it is true, because many of the buildings were erected thanks to designs by Robert Zimmermann (formerly Cieślik), who, while purchasing plots of land in the northern part of Kościuszko Street, was successively covering both streets. After all, there used to be dirt roads here, and now we have a bustling downtown. On the other hand, it is enough to enter our courtyard to feel the unique atmosphere of the place right from the doorstep. Are you ready to get to know the world of the Green Tenement House?
