A well-known Polish amber master Lucjan Myrta has put up for sale a property in Sopot where the Amberpol company had manufactured its amber products for many years.
 Since the middle of the 80’s and through the whole 90’s the Lucjan Myrta’s company AMBERPOL from Sopot was the biggest Polish exporter of amber products at important Far East markets, the American and German ones. A vast majority of these products was produced in the workshop in Sopot at 4 Kasprowicza Street, perfectly fit out with modern equipment and installations providing industrial safety. A form of a building, serving also as an office, a warehouse and having a spacious residential area (together with a tower overseeing Hel, the Gdansk Bay and the Vistula delta) has a character of a nineteenth century and was built by the craftsmen from “Restoration Workshops”. The building was designed by a brilliant specialist for antique architecture, Tomasz Lew from Sopot.
After 2000 Lucjan Myrta abandoned his business activity, concentrating on creating big amber objects, for a few years exhibited in the town hall of the city of Gdansk and then in Swedish and German museums, and in 2007 at Wawel in Krakow and finally in the Castle Museum in Malbork.
The latest work made in the workshop at 4 Kasprowicza St is a huge treasury made of amber, with an impressively difficult construction and a record mass of 955 kg!
At present Myrta carries out his artistic activity in a much smaller workshop at his new seat. The property in Sopot will be put up for sale. It would be good if one of the big companies from amber trade located itself in a place with such a good tradition.
For sale: a residential building with an amber workshop, warehouses, an office and garages, having a total area of 711.4 m 2 + terraces 210 m 2. Price: PLN 5,000,000.
