Długosz House in Kraków

Długosz House is a historic building in Kraków's Old Town, located at 25 Kanonicza Street, at the corner with Podzamcze Street, at the foot of Wawel hill. Erected in the 14th century, it housed a royal bathhouse. It was repeatedly rebuilt and transformed. Since the first half of the 15th century, it served as a residential house for cathedral canons, and it owes its name to one of them – Jan Długosz. It was not until the 19th century that its purpose changed, and during this century, Stanisław Wyspiański lived there. Currently, it serves as the seat of the rectorate of the Pontifical University of John Paul II.
