Modernist Pyramids in Ustroń

ZAWODZIE, an unavoidable district.

The construction of the first pyramids began in 1967, and the last of them were put into use by the late 1980s. To this day, they remain one of the most distinctive landmarks of Ustroń. Featured on postcards and company brochures, they are still a living monument to the Polish People's Republic. Literally speaking, they do not (yet) constitute a heritage site, but they are definitely worth a walk in their shadow.

The buildings are located in the Zawodzie district, designed by three architects: Henryk Buszko, Tadeusz Szewczyk, and Aleksander Franta. From our hotel garden to the nearest pyramid, it takes you just under 5 minutes of a peaceful walk. Don't be discouraged by the barriers - you can freely walk between the buildings.
