“Building with busts of Polish Kings and Queens”

Nov 2018

You can find this information on the building: ""The Kings" House" Built c. 1621 to accomodate the court of Jan Mikołaj Daniłowicz. Destroyed by fire in 1655, 1807 and 1944. Rebuilt in 1746-1794 as first public library in Poland, founded by brothers Andrzej and Józef Załuskis, Remodeled in 1824 as a residence by Karol H. Galle; busts of the kings were discovered in the cellars. Destroyed during World War II, rebuilt in 1960-1962." If you look at the building, beside the kings and queens busts, there is nothing extraordinary about it. Currently inside there are business offices. The building got my attention after I read a short story about it, which is disprayed both in Polish and English on the building. You can consider it as hidden historic building.
