3 Wit Stwosz Street in Katowice

3 Wit Stwosz Street in Katowice, Historical residential building in Katowice, Poland.

3 Wit Stwosz Street is a six-storey brick tenement with a two-storey basement, built in 1910 in early modernism with Art Nouveau elements. Its asymmetrical façade has eight axes on the ground floor and seven above, a three-sided bay window from the first to third floors topped by a balcony, and a triangular gable. The ground floor is clad in clinker brick, and a stucco fronton shows floral Art Nouveau motifs.

Built in 1910, probably to a design by Hugo Weissenberg from 1908, the building was initially residential. By 1935 it housed officials, merchants, a director, a doctor, a lawyer and an engineer, and the firm Polrat operated there. It was entered in the monument register on 31 May 1995, when Edgar Hilton owned it. Polimex-Mostostal sold it to Molina for 7.38 million zloty at the end of 2013.

The building's name comes from the street, named after Veit Stoss, the late-Gothic sculptor of the altar in Kraków's St. Mary's Basilica. In 1935 its residents included officials, merchants, a director, a doctor, a lawyer and an engineer, and the firm "Polrat" operated here. Today the Silesian Marshal's Office Tourism Development Department occupies part of it.

The building is located in the city center and can be easily reached on foot. Since it is still an active residential building, view it from the street and respect the privacy of the residents inside.

The building was converted from residential to office use over time; since 2025 it has housed the Tourism Development Department of the Silesian Marshal's Office. Earlier it held Polimex offices, and by 2022 a hostel and a training firm also operated here.
