The kamienica is an urban residence built of brick or stone and possessing at least two stories. The kamienice that line the market squares of Poland’s older cities may date back to Renaissance or Baroque times.

The Polish pałac (or “palace”) is a grand residential structure – typically fashioned of stone or brick – that is taller and more formidable than a dwór and possesses more elaborate ornamentation than a castle. Many Polish palaces display considerable Italian Renaissance or Baroque influences, thanks to the historical flow of architects between the countries.
