Hetmańska House in Kraków, Gothic townhouse at Rynek Główny 17, Kraków, Poland

The Hetmańska House features a Gothic hall with cross-ribbed vaulting, decorated keystones depicting various coats of arms and animal sculptures from medieval times.

Built in the 14th century during Casimir the Great's reign, the building served as a residence for rulers and later belonged to the Branicki family in the 18th century.

The Gothic hall contains sculptural decorations representing territories of medieval Poland, reflecting the political geography and heraldic traditions of the period.

The ground floor of this historical structure now houses a restaurant where visitors can experience the medieval architecture while dining.

The building earned the name 'Old Mint' due to its connection to the Beer family, who held royal minting privileges in the 16th century.
