Stary Browar
A shopping, art and park complex converted from a 19th-century red-brick brewery, once named the world’s best medium-sized shopping centre.
Stary Browar was originally the Hugger brewery. In 2003 it was converted into a complex combining a shopping centre, contemporary art spaces and a hotel. Red-brick halls blend with a steel-framed atrium, and contemporary sculptures are scattered both inside and out. Behind it is an open park and an art foundation’s exhibition space, which hosts outdoor events in summer. It is Poznań’s most popular shopping destination and about a 15-minute walk from the Old Town.
