Dom Egipski w Krakowie, Modern architecture house at Retoryka and Smoleńsk streets intersection, Kraków, Poland
The building features twin entrances on both streets, with wooden doors decorated with lotus stem patterns and remaining architectural elements from its original design.
Built between 1893 and 1896 for Józef Kulesza, a cemetery stonework business owner, the house underwent modernist modifications in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
The structure received its name from the Egyptian-inspired decorations that once adorned its facade, including sphinxes, pharaohs, obelisks, pylons, and deity reliefs.
The building stands at the corner of Retoryka 10-12 and Smoleńsk 10-12 in the First District of Kraków, near several museums and cultural institutions.
Between 1896 and 1914, sculptor Alojzy Bunsch, professor at the State Industrial School, resided at Smoleńsk 10, where his son, historical writer Karol Bunsch, was born.
