A complex of Renaissance tenement houses from 1615 located on the market square in Kazimierz Dolny. The architecture of these tenements refers to the Italian and Dutch Renaissance buildings. They were probably built by bricklayers from Lublin from limestone from local quarries. They received a rich bas-relief decoration of the facade and wonderfully developed and rich attics. These attics hide steep roofs perpendicular to the facade, draining rain towards the yard. On the facade you can see the figures of saints Christopher with the Baby Jesus on his shoulder, crossing the river, and Nicholas in a bishop's costume with a pastor in his hand. The owners of the tenement houses were brothers Krzysztof and Mikołaj, coming from a wealthy Przybyłów family. Tenements have Renaissance arcades.
