Tadeusz Stryjeński's Palace in Kraków

Tadeusz Stryjeński's Palace, also known as the Villa Pod Stańczykiem, stands at Stefana Batorego 12 in Kraków's Piasek district. It is a neo-Renaissance house with neo-Baroque features, which the architect designed for himself and built in 1882-1883.

The architect's house

Stryjeński was both the author and the builder of his own residence, and finishing work continued until 1892. On the left wing there is a relief of Stańczyk from 1886, and in the garden stands a studio pavilion designed by Jan Bukowski. The interiors are decorated with stained glass by Stanisław Wyspiański.

Today

Wikipedia states that the building is occupied by the Jagiellonian University. It has been a monument on the register since 1968. It is a university building, so the interiors are usually closed to visitors, while the façade and the relief can be viewed from the street. Nearby lies Planty Park.
