A neo-Gothic school building from 1905-1907 in Gajowice, Wrocław, listed in the municipal register of monuments.
The school building at Krucza Street 49 in the Gajowice estate in Wrocław is a historic school in a style referencing neo-Gothic, listed in the municipal register of monuments. The building is an active educational institution: this description covers only the structure and history of the building, and is not an invitation to visit the interior.
The building was constructed in 1905-1907 as the second of two buildings of the People's School Complex. The design was signed by architects Richard Plüddemann and Hermann Froböse. Originally it was a building with a basement, made up of two wings joined by a connector: the western wing, described as the main building, was designed according to the trends of the time, with a corridor in the central section and classrooms on both sides of it.
The building has five storeys above ground, and its form is stylistically reminiscent of neo-Gothic. A modern connector adjoins the historic structure, leading to a sports and recreation hall built in the south-western part of the plot.
After the Second World War, Primary School No. 33 operated in the building, later functioning together with Secondary School No. VII named after Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński, until the secondary school became the building's sole user. The building qualifies for protection through entry on the heritage register, and is currently listed in the municipal register of monuments.
The building lies in the Gajowice estate, in the former district of Fabryczna, in the near vicinity of the Old Jewish Cemetery and Aquapark Wrocław. Towards the centre, a few kilometres away, are the National Forum of Music, the Wrocław Opera and the Market Square.
