Holenderski Villa in Zawiercie

The villa complex at 3 Maja 25 in Zawiercie, known as the Holenderski Villa, is an Art Nouveau villa with a garden, built before the First World War. It stands somewhat back from the street within its plot and is listed in the heritage register.

Who lived here

The first owner was Stanisław Holenderski, who moved in here with his family; the building's popular name comes from him. The heritage register dates the complex to 1880-1900. After the outbreak of the Second World War the villa was taken over by the Germans.

The villa and garden

A large double-flight staircase leads to the entrance, and the terrace is surrounded by a stone balustrade. Inside there was a salon and about ten living rooms. In front of the villa stretches a garden with shrubs and trees, and the whole property is fenced.
