Hogwarts or Dracula’s Castle? ♂️
This is the forgotten, romantic Schön Residence of Franz and Emma Schön in Sosnowiec — an eclectic palace with a striking neo‑Gothic tower and whispers of neoromanesque, neobaroque, and Art Nouveau touches lurking in the ornate stuccos and arches. Built between 1900 and 1903 on the banks of the Black Przemsza River, it was a jewel of industrial-era grandeur and later served as a court, a community center, and now stands as a silent sentinel of architectural drama and history.
Thanks to the goodwill of the local court administration, I walked its halls and photographed its interiors — a rare passage into one of Sosnowiec's most compelling buildings. If you’re drawn to places that blend fantasy with history, and want to witness the stories behind dramatic facades, your support makes it possible for me to keep uncovering and sharing these hidden wonders.
