House under the Star in the city of Toruń, Old Town Market. One of the most beautiful appartment houses in Toruń. It was erected in the Middle Ages. In late XVII century it was rebuilt in baroque style. The facade of the house is richly decorated with stucco arabesque motifs. An eight-pointed star, after which the house is named, was placed on its top. A splendid oak spiral staircase with a statue of a Roman Goddess and a lion holding a shield with the rebuilding date of 1697 can be found in the building. In the years1967-69 renovation work was carried out and original interior layout was restored. Nowadays a museum has been arranged in the house. It is the first Polish Museum of Far East Art.

Znowu wyszukales piekna oprawe okien. Tak sie zastanawiam czy dobrze byloby zeby lampa w oknie byla wiecej widoczna, czy nie powinno jej byc.
Pozdrawiam Witek

Hi Mikolaj
I discover Your treasure of photos several days ago. I take a time for my first critique, because I want to summarize my impressions and find quite adequate words.
Your photos are so simply but full of details and atmosphere. They discover and present us a marvelous windows of Poland. They approximate Your Renesance, Baroque and Neoclassic architecture to us. But they are not only a documentation. They are an art way of looking the details of architecture. They breathe with the wind of ages.
Your photos incorporate much more treasure in Poland architecture treasure.
Thanks for sharing
Best wishes
Melany
