Kamienica Johna, Rococo tenement house at Krakowskie Przedmieście, Poland.

The five-axis facade of Kamienica Johna features a mansard roof with dormers and stands at the corner of Castle Square in Warsaw.

Built in 1654 for musician Adamecki, the building underwent multiple reconstructions, including a complete restoration after its destruction during World War II in 1944.

The building serves as the headquarters for the Polish Writers' Association, PEN Club, and the Polish Writers' Union, making it a center for literature.

Located near Castle Square, the building connects to the W-Z Route through escalators that underwent modernization in 2005 after years of technical issues.

The structure required an extension of 80 centimeters during its post-war reconstruction to accommodate mechanical equipment for the underground passage.
