Lonely Planet review for Rynek

The central Rynek is not lined with historic burghers' houses as you'd find elsewhere in Silesia but encircled by drab postwar blocks. It's a showpiece of the 'early Gierek style' - the term Poles sarcastically give to architecture spawned during the fleeting period of apparent prosperity in the early 1970s, when Edward Gierek's government took out hefty loans from the West to make Poland a 'second Japan'.
