The Długosz House is a 15th century gothic residential structure in Wiślica, Poland. It was one of several similar structures sponsored by Jan Długosz throughout the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.[1] It is a registered monument in Poland.[2]

Description

[edit]

Jan Długosz funded the construction of the structure in 1460 and intended it to house clergy of the local collegiate church.[3][4] Długosz demolished older houses on the site to make room for the new building, a gothic structure of brick, ashlar, and timber beams.[5][4][3] Ornamental paintings were also added to the interior, including a depiction of Długosz himself.[3][6] According to historian Michał Bobrzyński, the local clergy were grateful for the "magnificent" new residence.[5]

The structure is a museum in the modern period.[2]
