About Sępolno
What are the main landmarks in Sępolno?
Sępolno is mostly houses and streets. Its landmarks sit at the western edge, across the Old Oder in the neighbouring exhibition grounds. The Centennial Hall anchors that cluster, with the Iglica spire on the square before it and the Four Domes Pavilion and the Pergola close by.
The Wrocław Zoological Garden and its Africarium draw the crowds. Just beyond, the Workplace and House Exhibition of 1929, known as WuWA, still stands as an estate of experimental modern housing. The grander sights lie west, in central Wrocław.
What is the history of Sępolno?
Sępolno began as a planned residential estate, laid out on Wrocław's eastern side in the 1920s. The plan followed garden-city ideas, low houses set among gardens and green streets rather than dense blocks. It grew as a single scheme.
After the war the city passed to Poland, and Sępolno stayed much as it had been built, a low-rise residential quarter a short way east of the centre of Wrocław.
Where is Sępolno?
Sępolno sits within the city of Wrocław, one of its districts rather than a standalone town, folded into the wider urban area of Poland.
