Host Review Score

The Scharffenbergs was a Silesian family dealing with printing and bookselling. At the beginning of the XVI century, two relatives - Maciej and Marek arrived from the Lubomierz to Krakow. In those days, a monopolist in the printing market was Haller who using royal privileges, granted by Aleksander Jagiello - the Polish King. Marek Scharffenberg bought a print shop and a bookbinding shop in the center of Krakow, throw down the gauntlet to the monopolist. This made Haller waive his privilege of exclusivity in 1517. After the death of Marek the printing house was taken over by his sons Stanislaw and Mikołaj. In 1561, the printing house of heirs issued the first Polish printed translation of the entire Bible from the Latin Vulgate. The Bible was dedicated to the Polish King Sigismund II Augustus and is known as the Bible of Scharffenberg or Bible of Leopolita. The Bible contained 284 woodcuts of biblical scenes taken from the Bible... of Luther! In 1565 Mikołaj moved the printing house to his home at ul. Grodzka 3, where now our apartments are located. Their walls are decorated with photos of the printing machinery from times past.

The Scharffenberg’s apartments is a great alternative to hotels - beautiful, traditional, full of space interiors; a fantastic location guaranteeing quick access to monuments, museums, theaters and the business center; a perfect combination with other districts. We invite you to visit one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Looking out the window you'll see how the Krakow market wakes up. In the morning you can have your breakfast, served in Marmolada restaurant located in the adjacent building. Doing a leisurely walk, you will visit Planty Park and buy chocolates in Krakowski Kredens delicatessen. Close to Wawel Castle, close to St Mary's Church, close to the Kazimierz district, museums and galleries ... everywhere you can reach on foot.
