Kuder Villa

The Kuder Villa in Mysłowice is a Neo-Renaissance single-storey villa from the 1870s, entered in the heritage register. It has a rectangular plan, a low stone plinth and a low dormer, and inside 25 rooms on more than 450 square metres of ground floor.

Owners

The villa was built around 1870 for a Prussian industrialist, and the architect is not known. Around 1900 it belonged to Ignacy Danzinger, director of a coal mine in Mysłowice, then to Max Wiechmann, a German of Jewish origin who ran the emigration station. Since 1922 the house has belonged to the Kuder family. Maria Kuder lived in it, a Mysłowice doctor and the author of several plays.

Damage and a new owner

In 2008 some of the interiors were renovated to a design by Danuta Fredowicz. A fire in 2010 destroyed part of the villa along with the roof and the condition of the building deteriorated. In 2023 the villa was bought by the Jesuit order, which runs a primary school on the same street.
