Młodziejowski Palace (Pałac Młodziejowskiego, Polish pronunciation:

Miodowa Street, with annexes at 7 Podwale Street.[2] The palace was erected in the Baroque style at the end of the 17th century. It is adjacent to the Branicki
and Szaniawski palaces.

The palace erected at the end of the 17th century originally belonged to the

Bishop of Przemyśl, Andrzej Młodziejowski, for whom the palace was extended by Jakub Fontana
before 1771. In the course of this extension, side aisles were created in the form of side wings connected by an arcade gallery supporting the terrace.
