Millions pay for a historic address, but not every building is a treasure.

The article discusses the high prices of historic buildings (kamienice) in Poland, noting that while they attract buyers due to their prestige and investment potential, not all such properties are financially sound. Experts warn that these buildings often require expensive renovations and maintenance, which can offset their value. The article mentions that approximately 15–17% of property listings on Grupa Morizon-Gratka platforms are historic buildings, some of which were constructed after World War II or even recently in a style mimicking older architecture. It highlights that the availability of pre-war kamienice depends on how cities survived wartime destruction, with many replaced by modern apartment blocks.
