Built in 1920, this grand residence represents the transitional period between late Art Nouveau and early Art Deco. It was designed by Józef Gałęzowski, a prominent architect of the interwar period whose work remains central to Kraków’s urban landscape. The property is situated in a well-established residential district characterised by period architecture and mature greenery.
Provenance
During the interwar years, the house served as the home and studio of Professor Fryderyk Pautsch, a painter, Rector of the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts, and a key figure in the Młoda Polska (Young Poland) movement. The property historically functioned as a cultural hub for the city’s intellectual and artistic community.
Condition and restoration
The building has undergone a comprehensive restoration under the supervision of heritage conservation authorities. Key original features, including the interior layout, woodwork, and decorative masonry, have been preserved. The refurbishment, which included the garden, fencing, and external grounds, was partially funded by the European Union.
Grounds and garden
The house sits on an exceptionally large plot for a central Kraków location. The garden features mature trees, providing a private, park-like environment within close proximity to the city centre. The total area offers a rare degree of seclusion for its urban setting.
