Pusłowski Palace in Kraków, Renaissance palace on Westerplatte Street, Krakow, Poland
Pusłowski Palace is a Renaissance building on Westerplatte Street in Kraków with a two-story loggia and rusticated facade. The window frames are ornately designed and display the characteristic details of Renaissance architecture from that period.
The building was created in 1876 through a reconstruction of an existing villa under the direction of architects Tadeusz Stryjeński and Władysław Ekielski. This transformation changed the previous structure and gave it the Renaissance forms visible today.
The palace serves as home to the Institute of Musicology of Jagiellonian University, shaping how the building is used today. Musicians and scholars move through its rooms, which now function as spaces for study and artistic work.
The building can be visited during opening hours and features exhibits inside. Visitors should check times in advance, as the university institute's use of the space may limit public access.
Ksawery Pusłowski was a nobleman and art collector who transformed the building into a museum before donating it to the university. This act of generosity ensured the collection and spaces remained accessible to the public.
