While walking along Damrota Street in Opole, it is worth paying attention to the historic tenement houses, which have retained their original plan, solid, composition, and architectural details to this day. Tenement houses No. 4 and 6 on Damrota Street in Opole are two adjacent houses belonging to the most characteristic buildings in the city center. Tenement house No. 4 is distinguished by the wavy line of the balcony and roof balustrades, as well as a corner oval bay window. On the facade, you can see cartouches decorated with floral ornaments. Next to the gate portal, there are figures of two cherubs, and between them – an oval window. At the top of the buildings, between two vases with flowers, there is an inscription with the date – 1917. Tenement house No. 6 is characterized by a simple main body with large rectangular windows decorated with draperies. In one of the windows, you can see stained glass. Another distinctive building on Damrota Street is house No. 10, mainly due to the bas-reliefs made by Thomas Myrtek, a well-known Silesian sculptor. The building was erected in the 1920s as the headquarters of the Cement Central belonging to the Upper Silesian Lime and Cement Plants. The tenement houses are located on the "Pearls of Art Nouveau" urban route. Practical information: The facility is generally accessible from the outside. Entrance to the inside is possible occasionally, e.g., on the occasion of the European Heritage Days (September). Free parking spaces on Wyspiańskiego Street.
