The house stands out from the other houses on the square. It was built at the end of the 17th century in the Baroque style by Jan Michał Link. The façade of the house is decorated with fluted Ionic columns. Above the windows J.M. Link placed the carved busts of two mythological warriors: Minerva wearing a basinet and Hercules dressed in lion skins. The frieze under the windows features laurel and palm branches - symbols of glory and victory. Below the pilasters there are wall-trophies - weapons and armours.
