17 Market Square

17 Market Square is a residential building in Tarnowskie Góry with a traditional southern-facing facade that forms part of the continuous line of structures along the Market Square. The property maintains its original architectural features typical of period dwellings in this historic town center.

The building dates back to 1600, emerging during a period of urban growth when mining activities were driving the development of Tarnowskie Góry. This early phase of expansion established the town as a prosperous center attracting wealthy merchants and landowners.

This house is part of a group of arcaded residences in Tarnowskie Góry that show how wealthy merchants shaped the town's appearance in the 17th century. Walking through Market Square today, you can see how these buildings with their covered walkways define the space and tell the story of the merchants who lived here.

The building is centrally located on Market Square and easily accessible on foot from anywhere in the town center. Plan your visit during daylight hours when the surroundings are active and architectural details are most visible.

This house has been registered as a protected cultural monument for many decades, making it one of the earliest buildings in the region to receive such protection. This long-standing recognition means its structure and facade have been carefully preserved and maintained.
