Probably you know the feeling when you visit a new city, stroll around, and suddenly you see something strange which does not explain itself in the first moment…
Of course also Wroclaw has a couple of quite bizarre (or should we say unique?) things that might raise some questions about the background of these objects. Some of those things are easily overlooked, but as you are reading these lines, you already found our alternative guide to Wroclaw!
Let us explore another face of Wroclaw today and check the most bizarre things to see in Wroclaw!
1. The Do It Yourself Crucifix
We start our list with the Do-It-Yourself-Cricifix!
Made by Eugeniusz Get-Stankiewicz this controversial piece of art is actually to be found directly opposite of the Elisabeth Church!
Apparently he got inspired during the visit of a factory where crucifixes were built.
Not every mirror that you look into responds with your face. The acoustic mirrors in Wroclaw are the best proof.
Probably 50m away from each other, you cannot talk to a second person when you face each other. But turning the back to each other, and talking into the black magic mirror, you will understand your counterpart!
Well, why would a water tower be bizarre? Because of its unique design, this example is probably the most sophisticated water tower in the world!
It was built in 1903-1904 after a design by Karl Klimm and already had an elevator back then. On sunny days you can even see the mountains from here – but unfortunately at the moment there is no option to access it.
Do you have any idea how much time we waste in our lives by just waiting for something? Or someone?
Exactly, it seems to be a lot. That is why in Wroclaw you find the sculpture of waiting. The lady on the left looks already a bit annoyed that you arrived too late! But still you are invited to have a seat and take a picture with her…
There are basically two main railway stations in Wroclaw. One if you want to plan a trip to Wroclaw, and another one if you prefer going via air.
No, not the airport! But instead the train to heaven. A great contemporary sculpture, just in front of the contemporary museum which was a former bunker.
Igloos do only exist at the North Pole? Well, if you believe that, you have not been in Wroclaw!
We do have a regular igloo house, which was built in 1960-1963. As people are living there, we respected the privacy and did not make any pictures. If you have contact to the owners, please let us know and we will try to get in friendly contact with them 🙂
We continue with the same architectural style… Did you know that there is a gigantic titanic look-a-like building in Wroclaw???
Well, you really have to go to the Psie Pole to see it, a district in the very north. But indeed there is a building which was clearly “inspired” by the Titanic.
Let us keep the fingers crossed that there won’t be any ice…
