Romanesque House in Wrocław, Romanesque gallery building in Old Town, Poland
Description
The Romanesque House is a brick building in Wrocław's Old Town constructed with traditional Wendish bond masonry. Its interior spaces are distributed across two floors, each containing three rooms.
History
The building was constructed in the early 13th century and initially served as a center for the Cistercian nuns of Trzebnica. Its religious function ended with the dissolution of monasteries in 1810.
Culture
The building now hosts the Foto-Gen Gallery, where photography and contemporary media art from Poland and around the world are displayed. Visitors can explore rotating exhibitions that showcase modern artistic practices.
Practical
The building sits below the current street level due to centuries of ground elevation changes. Access to the gallery is through a subterranean entrance from Plac Biskupa Nankiera.
Did you know?
A bronze plaque installed in 2017 on the facade commemorates its history as the House of the Ladies of Trzebnica. The marker documents the connection between this Wrocław structure and the nearby convent.
