Arnold Stiller Palace 1893

The palace was built in the years 1891–1893 for an entrepreneur from Łódź, Arnold Stiller. The area at the then 75 Cegielniana Street (currently 45 Stefana Jaracza Street) was located opposite the Stiller and Juliusz Bielszowski wool factories. The architectural design of the building referred to the French and Italian Neo-Renaissance. The surviving copy of the project is signed by Hilary Majewski, but its authorship is debatable. Krzysztof Stefański writes on this subject: the architecture of the building definitely resembles the works of the Berlin company "Kayser & Groszheim" and perhaps its creator should be sought in Berlin.

 

Apart from the residential building, a stable, a coach house, a gardener's house and an orangery were also built. In the years 1899–1901, a southern wing, a circular staircase and a tower were added to the palace. The author of the extension project, introducing elements of Dutch mannerism, was Dawid Lande. The decoration designed by Lande is described as renaissance with an admixture of gothic forms. There are also Art Nouveau elements.
