History

The district was constructed from the mid 80s. Alongside with the construction of the buildings, the then pastor of the Catholic parish of st. Andrzej Bobola in Starosielce, he initiated the construction of a new church at the junction of Słoneczny Stok and Zielone Wzgórza. In 1984, the faithful began to pray in a makeshift chapel. Two years later, the construction of the Church of st. Jadwiga, designed by Marian Szymański.[1]

The dominant type of buildings within Zielone Wzgorza are four-floor apartment buildings with balconies, and small business area on the 1st floor of the outside wall of the buildings set-up in the shape of a letter "U." In the middle of each U-shaped grouping of buildings there are parking lot, recreational area for small children, trash disposal, and place to clean rugs and carpets as well as low growing coniferous trees and grass. Each unit within a given building is assigned a basement cell as well as parking space.
