There was a good question about what is Polish style. Well, this is Polish Renaissance style, developed in Krakow in the early 16th Century. What's unqiue about it is the decorated parapet or attic. This style then spread to Bohemia and beyond. The best example of Polish Renaissance can be found in Zamosc Poland.

Nowa Huta is a suburb of Krakow that was planned as an ideal communist community centred around the famous Nowa Huta steel works who's ulterior motive during communism was to erode Krakow's historic core by acid rain - no kidding

. It is going through a revival now.

With a coat of paint, these buildings would actually look very impressive

But ofcourse in Poland even ideal communist city's had churches
