  8. The Józef Kellner tenement building

  9. The tenement was built in 1802. Nowadays there are the offices of the „Tygodnik Dzierżoniowski” newspaper there. It has remained unaltered for 200 years, even the original carpentry remains. Józef Kellner was so proud of the tenement he built that he wanted it recorded on his grave stone.
