Description

The granary is located in the Sieniawa-Augustów district, about 1 km west of the town centre, and about 500 m from the San river. It was built on a floor plan in the shape of an elongated rectangle, with its longer side parallel to the road leading to the river port, divided by two passages into three parts. The building had three overground storeys; archival photographs show a cuboidal body covered with a gable roof, currently there are only perimeter walls and fragments of partition walls. The front/south façade and the north façade are seventeen-axial, divided into three five-axial parts by passages with loading openings located above them; shorter façades are three-axial. The storeys are separated by simple cornices placed on the walls; the corners of the building are accentuated by rustication; the windows openings on the ground floor are rectangular in shape; the windows on the upper storey are shaped as rectangles and topped with semicircular arches. The horizontal composition of the façade is emphasised with ventilation openings rhythmically arranged on all storeys. Inside, there is a clearly discernible basic division into three parts and there are no ceilings.

The building now lies in ruins and is fenced off with wire netting; it can be viewed from the outside.
