The Path of Four Gates – The Higher Seminary of the Resurrection Brothers, designed between the years 1984 and 1988 by Dariusz Kozłowski and his team, is considered one of the greatest examples of Polish postmodernism. This architecture is full of brilliant allegories, the discovery of which is as exciting and challenging as the reading of ambitious literature. This is not a coincidence, because the project materialises the assumptions of the metaphor-storyboard created in the mind of Dariusz Kozłowski, built before the walls or even the first drawings of the project were made. The discovery of the mysteries of the Four Gates: of Initiation, Hope, Knowledge and Faith reminds us of man's path through life, towards God. But to the casual observer, the building's architecture is ostentatiously irrational. Cracked walls, oversized stairs, levitating columns and vaults are not easy to perceive. Sometimes, it is worth having a book to plod through the difficult beginning. Its design is controversial and moving, a kind of intellectual game, which has gained many supporters, as well as critics, becoming something that few can remain neutral towards.
