fire department building

Poland, Krakow
Located in the historical center of Krakow, the building, which looks like a medieval castle, invariably attracts the attention of tourists. Designed to house the fire brigade, the Neo-Gothic building was built at the end of the 19th century according to the design of the famous Polish architect Maciej Moraczewski on the initiative of the then mayor Mikołaj Ziblikiewicz. The complex included barracks for officers and firefighters, stables, garages for vehicles, ambulance rooms, workshops, and a gym. The fire service operates here to this day.
