Mrówkowiec, Residential skyscraper in Wrocław, Poland.

The Mrówkowiec building stretches 235 meters in length and rises 11 floors high, incorporating 590 residential units within its concrete structure.

The construction of Mrówkowiec began in 1965 on a site previously occupied by villas that were destroyed during World War II operations.

In 1969, director Sylwester Chęciński selected Mrówkowiec as a filming location for his motion picture 'Only the Dead Will Answer'.

The building contains approximately 2000 residents and features retail spaces on the sixth floor, initially planned as a commercial center.

The building's name translates to 'Ant House', possibly referencing its large population or the pharaoh ants from a nearby German cemetery.
