Juliusz Heinzl Palace, 19th-century palace in Piotrkowska Street, Łódź, Poland
Juliusz Heinzl Palace is a 19th-century palace on Piotrkowska Street in Łódź with a three-story main structure and two tower-topped pavilions. The sections are connected by decorative metal grating that emphasizes the building's grand appearance.
The palace was completed in 1882 by architects Hilary Majewski and Otto Gehlig as a residence for wool industry magnate Juliusz Heinzl. It was built during the height of the textile boom when factory owners wielded enormous economic power.
The front facade displays sculptural allegories representing Freedom, Industry, and Trade, reflecting the economic importance of Łódź during its industrial era. These carvings tell the story of when the city was a major textile production center.
The palace currently serves as the seat of Łódź City Council and stands at number 104 Piotrkowska Street in the heart of the city. As an active government building, visiting is subject to administrative access rules and operating hours.
Each day at noon, the traditional melody Prząśniczka by Stanisław Moniuszko sounds from the palace as the official bugle call of Łódź. This classical tune has become a symbol of the city and reminds visitors of Poland's musical heritage.
