About

In 2011, the building celebrated a century since its construction. The house is a vivid example of Cubist-style architecture. In the last century, such a structure was quite original, so to make it more harmonious with the surrounding buildings, the architect had to add old Baroque forms to the new project. The building turned out to be very impactful, both from the outside and the inside, and the large windows remained a bold architectural feature for a long time.

The name "At the Black Madonna" was given to the house because of the statue of the Madonna made of black stone that stood here previously. It is still located on the exterior facade and can be seen by everyone.

Until 2012, there was a museum here which housed works of Cubist artists, however, it was closed due to a lack of funding.
