Willa Grundmanna, Neoclassical villa in Katowice, Poland.

The villa featured a portico supported by four caryatid statues, complemented by a tower, pergola, and winter garden at Warszawska Street 20.

Built between 1868 and 1869 by architect C. Hauser for steel mill director Herman Rosse, the villa underwent Italian-style renovations in 1872.

The building served as the Episcopal Curia and Cathedral Chapter headquarters during the interwar period, with Cardinal August Hlond residing there.

The villa stood at the intersection of Warsaw and Bankowa streets until 1973, when it was demolished for the National Bank of Poland building.

In 1922, the villa became the site of an assassination attempt on Józef Rymer, the first Silesian voivode, and hosted visits from Józef Piłsudski.
