Montelupi Palace

Even though the building is listed as monument since 1989 in the registry of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, it has been neglected since 1998,[1] while the Tarnowski family members continued their legal proceedings against the city for its private ownership.

The original structure which later had been expanded with risalits and new stonework,[1] used to have Polish kings and members of royal families among its frequent visitors.

Around the sixteenth century, the Palace on the Way (or, on the Road) was one of the most prominent noble residences in the area of Kleparz within the jurisdiction of Szlak.

It was refurbished and expanded in 1878 during the foreign partitions of Poland by renown local architect Antoni Łuszczkiewicz.

Further plans of redesigning the Palace were also rejected, and the foreign owner, formally obliged to maintain it, has become the subject of legal proceedings by the city in 2011 for neglecting it.
