Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego building in Warsaw, Modernist banking building in Warsaw, Poland.
The Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego is a banking building located at Aleje Jerozolimskie 7, designed with strong geometric lines and solid proportions reflecting 1930s modernist design. Its facade displays pronounced vertical elements that give the structure an appearance of stability and permanence.
Construction took place between 1928 and 1931 under architect Rudolf Świerczyński, during a period of economic restructuring for Poland. The project emerged as part of efforts to rebuild financial institutions following World War I.
The building represents Poland's economic confidence and serves as a landmark that locals associate with national financial stability. It occupies a central position in the city's business district, shaping how people perceive the character of this area.
The building stands within walking distance of Charles de Gaulle Roundabout and can be accessed from Bracka or Mysia streets. It continues to function as a bank headquarters, so interior spaces are generally not open to visitors.
The structure received official designation as an immovable monument in 1965, granting it protected status as a historical landmark. This recognition highlights how the city values its architectural heritage from the interwar period.
