Then in the final façade placed his monogram (AM) in the environment allegory shipping and trade.In 1947, Kazimierz Books opened in this building Restaurant "Under Wierzynkiem" which was nationalized four years later, and now is known as the "Wierzynek". Inside you can admire as Pompeian room with polychrome from the end of the eighteenth century, the Knights' hall, which is actually located in the adjacent building Hetmańska, but belongs to the "Wierzynka," and it contains from the fourteenth century the head as supports.
