- Strzelin county is situated in the southeastern part of the province of Lower Silesia (SW Poland). The geological structure of the area is relatively complex, particularly in the southern part of the region that is contained within the geological unit of the Strzelin massif. Hercynian granitoids predominate, represented mostly by biotite granites and granodiorites with a lesser proportion of two-mica granites, tonalities, and quartz diorites. The natural cover of the granitoid intrusion consists of Neoproterozoic and Lower Palaeozoic metamorphic rocks, mainly gneisses, granite gneisses, schists, quartzites, amphibolites and marbles. Tertiary basalt intrusions represent a much younger igneous formation. Apart from the elevated part of the Strzelin Hills, the entire area is covered with Tertiary sediments of marine origin: bluish clays as well as kaolinite clays and sands. The surface layer over most of the area is composed of Pleistocene glacial sediments, sand-gravel sediments, tills and loess-like clays. The extraction of rock material in this area dates back to the 10th century, when granite started to be quarried in Strzelin and Górka Sobocka. Rocks extracted in numerous quarries in the Strzelin county area are of very good quality and have been widely used in local architecture and civil engineering. This stone has been used to build road surfaces, street furnitures, architectural details, sculptures, windowsills, stairs, fence basements, low walls, building foundations or entire structures. Buildings have been made either entirely of stone or using only external wall claddings of granite. There are many noteworthy examples: the highest quality fine-grained granite from the Strzelin vicinity was used in the construction of the first cathedral in Wrocław (ca. 1000 AD), the columns of the Berlin Deutsche Bank, the stairs and floors in the Reichstag building in Berlin, the north port in Gdańsk, the Palace of Science and Culture in Warsaw, and the Nike goddess monument in Warsaw. This paper provides a description of selected stone-clad buildings made of Strzelin granite mainly from Strzelin county. The mausoleum of marshal Gebhard L. von Blücher in Krobielowice near Wrocław is an example of a Strzelin granite construction outside of Strzelin county.
