House of the Golden Dog, Baroque tenement house in Market Square, Wrocław, Poland.

The House of the Golden Dog features four window axes on the Market Square side and displays rich stone decorations with putti and composite pilasters.

Built in the 13th century, the building underwent substantial Baroque renovations in 1680 under Johann von Guttsmuth, transforming its architectural appearance and facade details.

The structure gained its name from a golden dog statue placed above the entrance in 1730 by Mathäus Kratz, an imperial jewelry inspector.

The reconstructed building now contains the Karmello café on the ground floor and the Złoty Pies brewery on upper levels, with office spaces above.

The original golden dog statue survived World War II destruction and remains preserved at the Municipal Museum of Wrocław in the Royal Palace.
