DL Vintage Post, formerly the Main Post Office building in Gliwice, located at 8 Dolnych Wałów Street, was constructed between 1903 and 1906. It is a unique example of Upper Silesian architecture in the historicist style, with a strong predominance of neo-Gothic features.
This remarkable building is situated in the Old Town of Gliwice, at the intersection of Dolnych Wałów and Zwycięstwa Streets, which serve as the main thoroughfares connecting the city center. In the vicinity, there are numerous retail and service establishments, the seat of local authorities, cultural institutions, faculties of the Silesian University of Technology, and residential areas.
Thanks to revitalisation works carried out in accordance with conservation guidelines, the building impresses with its exceptional historical and architectural character.
As part of the monument’s renovation, new functions were introduced to the building, revitalizing the space and giving it a new dimension. Among the implemented changes were:
From the outset, the building stood out for its distinctive architectural style. Constructed in the historicist tradition with a strong emphasis on neo-Gothic elements, its design is largely inspired by the medieval "Beautiful Style" — a refined variant of Gothic architecture that gained prominence in the 14th century through the work of architect Henryk Brunsberg and his workshop in Western Pomerania and Brandenburg.
The Gliwice post office quickly expanded and became a pioneer in implementing modern postal innovations. As early as 1907, a telegraph office was established within the building — a forward-looking feature at the time.
In 1910, a stamp vending machine was installed — a novelty at the time. A major innovation followed in 1925 with the introduction of airmail services. Around 1927, the building was expanded with a rear wing and partially redesigned, including the addition of a staircase within the tower.
After 1945, the building remained under the ownership of the Polish Post Office until 2016, when it was acquired by DL Invest Group. The company undertook its restoration with the aim of revitalising the historic property and reintegrating it into the urban fabric of Gliwice.
