House under the spider in Kraków, Gothic-style tenement house at Karmelicka Street, Kraków, Poland.
The House under the Spider building features an unusual spider sculpture mounted on its facade and decorative brickwork creating irregular patterns on its walls.
Teodor Talowski designed and constructed this residential building in 1889, incorporating elements of medieval castle architecture with a distinctive corner turret.
The building represents Polish architectural innovation of the 1880s through its combination of traditional Gothic elements with experimental brick arrangements and decorative motifs.
Located at number 35 Karmelicka Street, the building stands in central Kraków, with its spider sculpture visible from multiple angles along the street.
Several bricks in the facade appear intentionally misaligned or projecting outward, creating an illusion of structural instability that characterizes Talowski's architectural style.
