The name Renoma comes from the original department store chain and remains a central gathering place for everyday shopping and socializing in Wrocław. Its wide corridors and open spaces encourage people to linger and browse naturally.
The building offers ample parking spaces and bicycle storage facilities for visitors. Its location on Świdnicka Street makes it easily accessible by public transportation, with multiple entrances allowing convenient access throughout.
The building stands as Poland's largest surviving example of a pre-war Wertheim department store and contains two courtyards restored to their original 1930s layout. These reconstructed courtyards reveal the careful restoration of the historical floor plan.
