Golden House in Gdańsk, Renaissance tenement house in Długi Targ, Poland.
The Golden House features ornate stone decorations, statues of cardinal virtues, and battle scenes adorning its distinguished Flemish Mannerist facade.
Mayor Jan Speymann commissioned architect Abraham van den Blocke to construct this residence between 1609 and 1617 during Gdańsk's economic peak.
Latin inscriptions above the entrance promote moral values, including 'Love virtue and it will make you happy' and 'Act justly, fear no one'.
The Golden House stands at Długi Targ 41, adjacent to the Artus Court and Neptune Fountain in the central tourist district of Gdańsk.
Original Italian sculptural decorations intended for the facade sank during sea transport, requiring architects to use elements planned for the rear elevation.
