Wedding Palace in Katowice, Modernist civil registry building in central Katowice, Poland.

The Wedding Palace consisted of two low structures joined by a bridge-like connector, featuring a glass facade and decorative stone reliefs throughout the building.

Built in 1969 on the former site of Marta Steelworks, the Wedding Palace served as the main civil registry office until its demolition in 2011.

The interior displayed numerous stone carvings representing zodiac signs, birds, and stars, along with black and white marble floors and mirrored walls.

During its 41 years of operation, the registry office at Wedding Palace conducted approximately 100,000 marriage ceremonies for local residents.

Five decorative bas-reliefs from the original building now remain on display in the Katowicki Park Leśny, preserving elements of this architectural landmark.
