Black Coach House

THE COACH HOUSE. The Black Coach House
Historical names: The Black Room
Time of construction: 1902-1904
Architects: Amand Bauqué

Description:
During the major renovation and modernisation works under the 3rd entailer Roman Potocki, following the demolition of the stables and two coach houses erected in the 1830s, a neo-baroque Stables building was constructed with a neighbouring modernist Coach House building with classicist elements – both designed by a French architect Amand Bauqué. Between them, there is a parade stable yard and an open manege in front of the Stables. Work on creating the new equestrian complex lasted from 1891 to 1904. In 1902, the Coach House was erected, its arranging lasted until 1904. The monumental building of the Coach House, with the primary high body on a rectangular plan, covered with a gable, glass roof, houses the Harnessing Hall. There are two coach houses on its sides in low pavilions and the Grooming Room on the axis. The Black Coach House, located in the side pavilion facing south, owes its name to the carriages used for broadly understood representation, with black-coloured bodies. There are four wooden, three-leaf gates glazed in their upper part and a lower double-leaf door in the middle leading to the room. On a plan resembling the letter T, the interior is covered with a segmental ceiling and has a terrazzo floor. In the narrowing, the lateral ceiling beam is supported by two metal pillars. There are two windows in the upper part of the exterior walls (each with internal folding shutters). There is an additional French window between them in the southern wall opposite the double-leaf door covered with the Venetian blind.
