Hansel and Gretel houses, Wrocław, Historical townhouses at Market Square, Wrocław, Poland.
The two narrow medieval buildings connected by a Baroque archway feature intricate architectural details and colorful decorations on their facades.
Built between the 16th and 18th centuries, these houses originally marked the entrance to a cemetery, with a Latin inscription stating 'Death is the gate to life'.
The smaller house contains an art gallery dedicated to local artist Eugeniusz Get Stankiewicz, while the larger structure functions as a social establishment.
Located at the northwestern corner of Market Square at coordinates 51.111167, 17.030694, the houses remain open to visitors throughout regular business hours.
The connecting archway between these houses creates an illusion of two structures holding hands, inspiring their nickname after the fairy tale characters.
