    This building is in Poland. I LOVE it! It so reminds me of Halloween (even at Christmas.)

    I wonder what it is/was? A government building? Someone's palace?
    What year was it built? Anyone here know Polish? I didn't see an optional language button on the web page.
    Yes there is, click on the British Flag. Upper right hand corner.

    It has the same Victorian architecture as the Haunted Mansion at Disney.

    ..I would guess the Disney mansion came after this building, but I could be wrong?

    I believe the inspiration is a mansion right here in the U.S. of A - Pennsylvania:

    Welcome To The Harry Packer Mansion

    On another note, Poland is my number one travel destination. Though, I have no idea when I'll go.

    It's the city hall in Nowy Sącz, Poland. The architectural style is Second Empire. It was probably built between 1865 and 1880.

    The city also has the ruins of a medieval castle.

    Thank you Cadaverino. That's right.

    I just love to look at this building, especially when it is dark there. Even when there is snow on the grown it's so beautiful.
