A pioneering skyscraper in Katowice.
Drapacz Chmur, meaning 'Cloud Scraper', is one of the first skyscrapers in Poland, built in the 1930s. It stands as a testament to the modernist architectural movement that swept through Europe in the early 20th century. The building's streamlined design and use of reinforced concrete were revolutionary at the time, making it a landmark of innovation in Katowice.
