Gothic House
Gothic House
THE GOTHIC HOUSE, also called the Canonical House, around 1448, through reconstruction, was adapted to the needs of the canons of the collegiate church of St. st. Margaret (currently a minor basilica) and was used by them until 1791.
It is made of brick, one-story, partly buttressed, with a basement, currently consisting of two blocks covered with separate roofs. It has late Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque portals and window frames. From the front, from the side of Lwowska Street, the following portals are embedded in the wall: a stepped one from the 15th century, called Długosz portal, and another one with the date 1505 carved in it. In terms of area, the Gothic House is second only to the 15th-century houses in Wiślica, Kraków and Sandomierz.
In the eighteenth century, due to the dissolution of the chapter, the building was sold and the money obtained was allocated to a religious fund. The next users were the townspeople of Nowy Sącz, then the following companies functioned here: Tania Kitchen Society, "Caritas", a bakery with an adjacent bakers' bedroom, a PSS store and private tenants' apartments.
In the years 1958 - 1964 the interior of the building was renovated and used as a museum. You can see a permanent exhibition of old art from the Nowy Sącz region and temporary exhibitions in the field of history, culture and art. The permanent exhibition: "Old art of the Nowy Sącz region" covers the following topics: "Sacred guild art of the 14th - 19th centuries." , "Royal Castle in Nowy Sącz", "Folk art of the 18th - early 20th century", "Court art of the 17th - 19th century." and "Western Lemko icons of the 15th-19th centuries", which deserve special attention as the leading collection of the museum in Nowy Sącz. The exhibition of old icons is complemented by contemporary ones, made during iconography workshops in Nowica and in other centers in Poland and Ukraine.
