Szyszko-Bohusz, born in the former Inflanty (now Latvia), then in the partitioned Polish lands under the tsarist occupation, was educated in St. Petersburg; in 1916 he became the main architect and conservator of the Wawel Royal Castle. He built his own house in Przegorzały, the then village near Krakow. The Villa Odyniec (named after the family’s court of arms), is situated on a Jurassic hill, commanding over the panorama of the city, valley of the Vistula River and of the mountain ranges. It has the form of a round tower with a high, pointed roof, stone elevations, bays and a terrace. The house was confiscated during the German Nazi occupation and after 1945 it was never returned to its rightful owner, who died soon after the war.
