Loreto House, Gołąb, Religious monument in Gołąb, Poland.
The rectangular Loreto House features two distinct levels with an exterior facade of stone-brick and plaster, incorporating columns and aedicular elements in its design.
Built between 1634 and 1638 under Chancellor Jerzy Ossoliński's direction, the structure replicates the exact dimensions of the Basilica della Santa Casa in Loreto, Italy.
The building contains ceramic sculptures of prophets in niches between columns, with representations of Noah, Aaron, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Moses surviving to present day.
The Loreto House stands near the southern wall of a cemetery, positioned between the Church of St Catherine and St Florian, receiving natural light through small openings.
Inside the double-walled structure, 17th-century polychrome decorations illustrate scenes from the life of the Mother of God across the internal surfaces.
