Kossakówka

Kossakówka Manor is the historic home of the Kossak family located at 4 Juliusza Kossaka Square in Kraków, Poland.

Initially, the villa at Plac Latarnia (the square's name was changed after the painter's death in 1899) was called "Wygoda".

The entire property was surrounded by a garden, and its location on the outskirts of the city, near a park, made it a truly idyllic retreat for the artist Kossak.

One could meet there: Adam Asnyk, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Stanisław Witkiewicz, Józef Chełmoński, Julian Fałat, Julian Tuwim, Boy (Tadeusz Żeleński-Boy), Joseph Conrad, Ignacy Paderewski, and many other renowned painters, musicians, writers, and actors.

In 1960, the manor was entered into the register of historical monuments and was renovated, but state protection ended there.
