It was designed by the Polish architect Józef Płoszko, whose mastery of local architectural traditions are clearly reflected in this building’s oriental façade. In 1919 it became the residence of the first Polish Consulate in Baku, which was headed by Stefan Rylski. Today it houses the Union of Cooperatives. The building’s architect, a talented Pole Jozef Ploszko, worked in Baku for over 30 years until 1925, when he left for Warsaw in Poland. He was also the chief architect of Baku in 1907-1910. The movie was made as part of the project “Polish Heritage in Azerbaijan on drone videos“.
