OLD MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS OF JORDANÓW

In the market square of Jordanów there are three interesting brick buildings which, together with the parish church situated near the market square, constitute an interesting complex of neo-Gothic urban architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. All four buildings were designed by the famous architect, professor of the Lviv Polytechnic, Jan Sas-Zubrzycki (1860-1935). The oldest of them is the two-storey building of the former county court and tax office with a characteristic corner tower and a pinnacle gable at the front, built in 1895 in the south-western frontage of the square, at the corner with Mickiewicza Street. In the same frontage, but on the corner with Kolejowa Street, stands the early 20th century Stolaski family tenement house, while in the north-eastern part of the square stands the two-storey town hall, erected in 1911. In front of the town hall there is a valuable chapel with a statue of St. John of Nepomuk, probably from the 4th quarter of the 18th century, and in the square on the other side of the busy road – a monument of the town founder, governor and castellan of Cracow, Wawrzyniec Spytek Jordan of Zakliczyn (1518-1568), unveiled in 2008.
