62 Jana Pawła II Avenue in Białystok, Historical customs house at Jana Pawła II Avenue, Białystok, Poland.
The classical architecture of the building features a distinctive rotunda shape with a domed roof, portico, and walls that gradually taper upward to create a balanced composition.
Originally constructed in 1851, the building served as a customs house marking the border between the Congress Kingdom and Russia from 1815 until 1918.
The structure received official recognition as a cultural monument in 1952 when it was registered under number A-281 in the Podlaskie Voivodeship heritage registry.
Located at coordinates 53.140704, 23.103843, the building stands as an accessible historical site along Jana Pawła II Avenue in the central area of Białystok.
Despite its common name as Napoleon's House, historical records indicate the building was constructed three decades after Napoleon Bonaparte's death, dispelling local legends.
