Photo's description:

34 Bielska (formerly Bielitzerstrasse) in Cieszyn where dr Andrzej Grodyński (Circuit Court Judge and President of the Silesian Court of Appeal), lived with his wife Alicja (née Matter) and son Stanisław. (On Andrej’s passing in 1925 Alicja moved to a nearby apartment at 7 Stanisława Wyspiańskiego, formerly Lenaugasse.) Cieszyn is a border-town in southern Poland on the east bank of the Olza River, and the administrative seat of Cieszyn County, Silesian Region. It is located within the western Silesian Foothills north of the Silesian Beskids and Mount Czantoria Wielka, a popular ski resort. The town lies opposite Český Těšín in the Czech Republic's Karviná District, Moravian-Silesian Region. Both towns belonged to the historical region of Austrian Silesia and are the historical capital of the region of Cieszyn/Těšín Silesia. Cieszyn combines both Polish and Old–Austrian peculiarities in the style of its buildings. Because of several major fires and subsequent reconstructions (the last one in the late eighteenth century), the picturesque old town is sometimes called Little Vienna. The only relics of the ancient castle are the square Piast Castle Tower (Wieża Piastowska) dating from the fourteenth century and the eleventh century romanesque St Nicholas' Chapel (Kaplica św Mikołaja, a rotunda. The Museum of Cieszyn Silesia in the former Larisch family palace (Pałac Laryszów) was the first museum in Poland. The area has been populated by Slavic peoples since at least the seventh century. According to legend, in 810 three sons of a prince - Bolko, Leszko and Cieszko, met here after a long pilgrimage, found a spring, and decided to found a new settlement. They called it Cieszyn, from the words cieszym się ("I'm happy"). This well can be found at ulica Trzech Braci ("Three Brothers Street"), just west of the town square. From 1290 the town was the capital of the Duchy of Teschen and was ruled by the Piast dynasty until 1653 and by the Habsburg Dynasty of Austria until 1918
