Turkish Tenement House in Kraków, Heritage tenement house on Długa Street, Kraków, Poland.

The three-story Turkish Tenement House features a distinctive turret with a conical dome and crescent, resembling a minaret on its facade.

Built in the second half of the 19th century as a two-story structure, the building underwent reconstruction in 1910 by architect Henryk Lamensdorf.

The building received its name through its connection to Artur Teodor Rayski, an officer of the Ottoman army who owned the property.

Located at Długa Street 31, the Turkish Tenement House maintains its status as an officially registered immovable monument of cultural heritage in Poland.

According to local accounts, the original owner brought a muezzin from Egypt to perform daily prayer calls from the building's minaret-like turret.
