Rent Tenement House

The tenement house in Opole, part of the Museum of Opole Silesia, is a unique place on the tourist map of Poland. Initially, it was a tenement house intended for the middle class of Opole townspeople. Today, after renovation, you can admire the solutions introduced by the designer of this house, who designed a two-story tenement house with an attic on a narrow plot and six small two-room apartments with an area of approx. 35 m2 (two apartments on each floor).

In the tenement house you will see five apartments - each in the style that was used in the furniture industry in the years 1890–1965. In addition to furniture, kitchen appliances and knick-knacks, various ways of heating rooms with tiled stoves and cast iron stoves were presented, and the hygiene equipment that was commonly used at that time. It took a lot of trouble to build an English-type kitchen, i.e. a white tile stove with a tin top for cooking and an oven. We also managed to acquire two types of French cast iron, coal fired, which were very popular in cities.

A separate challenge was to furnish an apartment from the communist period. The decoration of this apartment is also an example of preferences that are reflected in the commonly produced crystals, straw pictures, or reproductions of works by recognized painters, such as Van Gogh's Sunflowers, distributed by bookstores.

The attic of the tenement house was intended not only to show its basic function, but also in 2013 a small exhibition related to washing was arranged there. This space shows the washing, drying and mangling process, and recalled the equipment commonly used by housewives from the end of the 19th century to the 70s of the 20th century.
