Barasch Brothers' Department Store, Art Nouveau department store in Market Square, Wrocław, Poland.

The Barasch Brothers' Department Store features a six-story structure measuring 37 meters in height with large display windows and ornamental details on its facade.

The department store, constructed in 1904 under architect Georg Schneider's supervision, underwent significant changes during World War II and reopened in 1946 under Polish administration.

The building represents the transition from German to Polish commercial heritage, reflecting the economic shifts from private ownership through state control to modern retail.

The department store operates across multiple floors, with retail sections on the lower levels and office spaces occupying the upper three floors.

The original Art Nouveau facade included a glass globe atop the main tower, which was removed during the 1929 modernization of the building's exterior.
