The 1618 Golden House, designed by Johan Voigt, has the richest facade in the city. In the friezes between stories are 12 elaborately carved scenes interspersed with busts of famous historical figures, including two Polish kings. The four statues waving to you from the balustrade at the top are Cleopatra, Oedipus, Achilles and Antigone.
