Villa Witkiewiczówka in Zakopane, Early 20th-century villa in Zakopane, Poland.
Description
Villa Witkiewiczówka is a single-story wooden building with a residential attic built on a high stone foundation featuring decorative arcades and balconies. The roof and windows display elements of mountain timber architecture that define the local building style.
History
The building was constructed between 1903 and 1904 by architect Jan Koszczyc Witkiewicz and was originally named Na Antołówce. It later became the family residence and took the name by which it is known today.
Culture
The villa served as a portrait studio for artist Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz from 1931 to 1939, making it a working creative space rather than just a residence. It reflects the artistic pull that Zakopane held for painters and writers seeking inspiration in the mountain region.
Practical
The villa now operates as a guesthouse with additional holiday cottages and welcomes visitors, though hours should be confirmed in advance. The location is central enough in Zakopane to include it in a walking tour of the town.
Did you know?
The interior features wood-beamed ceilings decorated with pine trunks bearing folk patterns, alongside original tiled stoves from the construction period. These crafted details reveal the connection between architecture and regional woodworking traditions.
