Adolf Witt Tenement House, building in Warsaw
The Adolf Witt Tenement House is a building complex in central Warsaw with red brick walls and eclectic architecture from the early 1900s. The structure displays characteristic details such as decorative brick patterns, arched windows, and a steeply pitched roof with traditional wooden beam support.
The building was constructed around 1907 by Adolf Witt, who operated a brass goods workshop and foundry. The factory remained active until the onset of World War II and produced specialized equipment for hospitals and industries that gained recognition across Europe.
The building carries the name of its founder Adolf Witt, whose metal workshop shaped the structure. The factory character remains visible in the architecture and reflects how this neighborhood once thrived on craftsmanship and small manufacturing.
The building is located in Śródmieście, Warsaw's central district, and is easily accessible on foot. The location offers visitors a good opportunity to explore the historic industrial architecture alongside other nearby monuments such as the Christ figure.
The building has served as a filming location for more than 50 films and television productions, including Roman Polanski's 'The Pianist'. The raw brick walls and high ceilings provide filmmakers with authentic historical spaces that evoke early Warsaw.
