Dom Handlowy Zenit, Modern department store in Katowice, Poland.
Dom Handlowy Zenit spans seven floors with a glass facade structure at Rynek 12, featuring commercial spaces and office sections throughout the building.
The building replaced Hotel Welt, the oldest hotel in Katowice from 1848, and opened its doors on September 4, 1962, designed by architect Mieczysław Król.
The building's name resulted from a public competition, reflecting the community involvement in establishing this commercial center during Poland's post-war development period.
The department store contains a grocery section on the lower level, with elevators providing access to shopping areas on the first and second floors.
The facade underwent renovation between 2008 and 2010 under the supervision of Rafał Król, the original architect's son, maintaining its architectural legacy.
