Vul. Lysenka, 8 – residential building ID: 1537

Former address: ul. Kurkowa 8 (conscription No. 700 4/4). In 1800–1801, a covered riding arena and equestrian school owned by Józef Krupp was built on a portion of the plot belonging to the Monastery of the Discalced Carmelite Fathers. The riding arena stretched along today's vul. Lysenka. In the 1890s, several apartment buildings designed by architect Andrzej Gołąb were constructed on its site, including building No. 8. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the building housed the Regional Defense Court (Ger. Landwehr Gericht). It is an Architectural monument (registration No. 978), designated as a nineteenth-century residential building.
