Pałac Górków w Poznaniu, Renaissance palace in Old Town, Poznań, Poland
Pałac Górków w Poznaniu is a Renaissance palace in Poznań's Old Town built from earlier merchant houses. The structure contains two residential wings connected by a gate passage and features an ornately carved sandstone entrance dated to 1548.
Between 1544 and 1548, Andrzej Górka transformed several Gothic merchant houses into this grand Renaissance residence. The building later became a center for the Lutheran community, reflecting the religious changes sweeping through Poznań at the time.
The palace is named after the Górka family who established it as their home during the Renaissance. Today visitors find ancient Egyptian artifacts displayed within its rooms, creating an intriguing connection between a local noble residence and distant civilizations.
The palace sits at the intersection of Wodna, Klasztorna, Kozia, and Świętosławska streets on the southeastern edge of Old Town Market Square. Its location makes it an easy stop when walking through the historic district and exploring the surrounding medieval streets.
The entrance portal bears an inscription with the year 1548 along with carved laurel wreaths and cornucopia symbols that traditionally represented prosperity. These decorations offer visitors today a glimpse into what mattered to Renaissance nobility.
