The Centre of Modernism

Gdynia Modernism InfoBox gathers information about Gdynia Early Modernist City Centre, which in 2015 was recognised as Historical Monument, and in 2024, by the decision of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, is the only Polish representative applying for inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The Centre of Modernism in Gdynia is located in a historical building from 1935-1936, one of the most characteristic modernist objects in Poland. It is also one of the most important buildings of the modernist city centre of Gdynia, created – which nowadays is hard to believe – in a very short time of just several years during the interwar period.
