Amazing constructions. You can enter inside through a quite deep entrance channel of approx. 1.5m.

One of the larger and more interesting objects in the area. Be careful of several nearby manholes

The silos near Christianstadt (now Krzystkowice, Poland) were part of the gigantic, top-secret munitions factory of Dynamit AG ("Ulme") during World War II. The facility was built starting in 1939, and production reached its peak in 1943. It manufactured, among other things, bomb munitions and hexogen – thus making it one of the largest explosives factories in the Nazi Reich. Methanol was stored in at least five of these silos – apparently separate from other production areas.

It’s called „hotel” by locals due to it’s shape with characteristic balcony however it was nitrocelulose station where celulose was nitrated. Process was extremaly toxic. Balconies were needed to allow workers to take quick brake from acidic gases. Holes in the floor are leftovers from vertical mixing instalation. On the top floor you can find concrete celulose reservoirs. On the ground floor cylindrical bases for tanks and machinery. Ground floor was covered with special tiles that could stand contact with acid. Building have concrete support and walls made of bricks. Because nitrocelulose is explosive the whole idea is: in case of explosion the support remains while the walls are blown up. This solution allowed to quickly fix damage and continue production.

Dynamit Nobel AG from World War II: The six visible silos of the former dynamite factory of the Dynamit Aktien-Gesellschaft Alfred Nobel (DAG) resemble rocket shafts. The largest munitions factory of the Nazi regime was located in Christianstadt (Krzystkowice) on the Bober River. The cylindrical design was presumably intended to allow pressure to escape upwards in the event of an explosion, thus minimizing the risk of injury in the immediate vicinity of the silo. Some of the silos are filled with sand, presumably for counterpressure and camouflage.

All the signs said it was a hotel on the former complex of Alfred Nobel's explosives factory. Based on the construction and the shape of the holes in the floor, I can't imagine that.
