The brick building on the corner of the Main Market Square and ul. św. Jana, at Rynek Główny 42, is dated to the early 14th century by the National Heritage Institute, and a brick door surround on the rear elevation survives from that Gothic phase.
In the 19th century Ignacy Krieger ran a photography studio in the townhouse, continued by Amalia Krieger, which the Museum of Photography in Kraków documents as part of the history of Kraków photography. From 1902 the art collector and patron Feliks "Manggha" Jasieński had his home and private museum at the corner of the Square and ul. św. Jana, according to a publication of the National Museum in Kraków.
The building is known as the Bonerowski Palace after the Boner family, but the link between that family and this particular property has not been confirmed by archival sources, so the name is best understood as a tradition. Today the townhouse houses a boutique hotel, the restaurant Amalia Steak & Fish and a cocktail club, and it hosts concerts and events.
