History
In the first half of XIX, on the site of the modern building, there was a small palace of Maciej Jozef Brodovic, who sold it to the Railway Cracow-Upper Silesian Society. In 1851, the Brodovich Palace passed into the ownership of Peter Stanislav Moshinsky , who placed in it a collection of paintings, an archive and a library. On the ground floor of the building there was a library and archive, consisting of 13 thousand prints, archival materials, 30 thousand engravings, numismatics and cartography. On the second floor there was a collection of ceramics, paintings and archaeological artifacts. In the dining room was a collection of ancient weapons. Before his death in 1879, this collection was repeatedly used by Jan Mateiko , Valerie Eliash-Radzikovsky and Florian Zinc . Before his death in 1879, Peter Stanislav Moshinsky sold the house, and bequeathed his collection to the heirs.
In 1884 the building was demolished and in its place the landowners Boleslav and Sofia Volodkovichi built a new building, which began to be called by their name. The building was designed by Polish architects Tadeusz Stryensky and Vladislav Ekelsky .
Before the First World War, the building was owned by Bogdan Oginsky. Before the Second World War , the building housed the Krakow Ethnographic Museum .
June 18, 1968 the building was entered into the register of protected monuments of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship (No. A-126).
The building currently houses the Kraków 53 Post Office.
Until now, the family coat of arms of Volodkovich Radvan , the original parquet from various types of wood and decorative plaster on the ground floor have been preserved on the attic.
