To the Golden Sun (Breslau)
The Haus Zur Goldenen Sonne is a building on the Breslauer Ring and is located on the west side of the square (No. 6). It is one of the most beautiful and best preserved baroque buildings in Wroclaw .
history
The first written mention of a house on the site comes from the 16th century. The current shape of the house dates back to 1727. The facade was decorated by the Viennese architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt . In earlier centuries several heads of European states stayed here, including the King of Hungary and Bohemia Ladislaus Jagiello II and the Habsburg Emperor Leopold II. From the balcony in 1742, the end of the First Silesian War was announced to the people of Wroclaw . The peace treaty between Prussia and Austria was signed in the hall on the first floor of the building. The building survived the Second World War unscathed. Since April 2016 the Pan Tadeusz Museum has been housed in this building, which deals with the general genesis and reception history of an important work of Polish literature ( Adam Mickiewicz ); the house is thus a direct branch of the Ossolineum , one of the most important Polish libraries.
architecture
The building was built in the Baroque style. Inside the house there are artfully designed wooden ceilings.
