context_page_description: The architecture of Poland includes modern and historical monuments of architectural and historical importance.
  Several important works of Western architecture, such as the Wawel Hill, the Książ and Malbork castles, cityscapes of Toruń, Zamość, and Kraków are located in the country. Some of them are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Now Poland is developing modernist approaches in design with architects like Daniel Libeskind, Karol Żurawski, and Krzysztof Ingarden.
context_section_description: The territory of the former Polish state remained divided between Prussia (Germany), Russia, and the Austrian (Austro-Hungarian) Empire, developed unevenly. 
  The experience of Vienna Ring Road was successfully applied in Kraków where Planty Park was created. The architecture of Kraków at that time was oriented towards the Viennese model, pr so-called Ringstrasse style. Stylistically, it was an eclecticism dominated by Neo-Gothic (Collegium Novum) and Neo-Renaissance (Słowacki Theatre). Similar stylistics dominated other Polish lands. 
  In German Neo-Gothic stylistics, Karl Friedrich Schinkel designed Kamieniec Ząbkowicki Palace and Kórnik Castle.  S. Stompf redesigned the Lublin Castle. Neo-Renaissance monuments include the main building of the Warsaw Polytechnic (1889-1901), Bristol Hotel in Warsaw (1900, Władysław Marconi). Famous architects also include Friedrich August Stüler (Wielkopolska), Alexis Langer, Ludwig Schneider (Śląsk), Józef Pius Dziekoński, Konstanty Wojciechowski, Feliks Księżarski, Teodor Talowski, Jan Sas-Zubrzycki.
  In the era of capitalism, many factory owners' villas and palaces are built, as well as numerous workers' housing estates and industrial buildings.
