house under the globe

Dom Pod Globusem
Poland, Krakow
Built in 1906, the Art Nouveau building is located in the center of Krakow, it was intended for the board of the Commercial and Industrial House. The highlight of the architectural monument is the corner clock tower, above which rises a metal globe. Hence the name. The facade is decorated with various bas-reliefs, and the interior is decorated with stucco and stained-glass windows. After the Second World War, the walls of the building housed a cigarette shop and a grocery store. In the middle of the 20th century, the first floor of the House under the Globe became through for the convenience of pedestrians. Today, a publishing house is located within the walls of the famous building, and a bookstore has replaced the cigarette store.

It was built in 1904-1906 according to the project of architects Františ ek Monč ynski and Tadeusz Stryż eń ski to house the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Is one of the most interesting examples of early modernist architecture. Three-story, brick, with a corner tower with a clock, which is crowned by a pyramid with a globe. The entrance portal from Dluga Street is decorated with allegorical bas-reliefs of Trade and Industry by Konstantin Lyashchka. Above the portal is a sailboat with the emblem of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (1905).
