The Grey House - Kamienica Szara is the oldest burgher's
house in the town, built in the 13th & 14th centuries. It contains
Gothic vaults and Renaissance ceilings. The western facade was
reshaped in the 17th century. The massive Baroque doorway was
created by sculptors of the Castelli family. Residents include
Poland's first elected king, Henri de Valois (in 1574), and
Tadeusz Kosciuszko who had his quarters here. It was also the
seat of the short-lived provisional government during the Krakow
Uprising of 1846. »
