Pałac Roberta Schweikerta

Robert Schweikert's Neo-Baroque palace on Piotrkowska Street in Łódź was completed in 1913 as an ensemble in the style of an aristocratic country estate. The freestanding, two-story building stands out for its stately courtyard, which is bounded by service buildings and an iron fence. The façade combines Baroque forms with Modernist touches, while the rear of the property holds a symmetrically laid-out Italian garden. Classical decorations have been preserved inside. After a variety of uses, including as a bank and a party headquarters, the renovated building has housed the European Institute of the University of Łódź since the 1990s.
