The Likus Concept Store is located in a unique spot, one of exquisite charm and with tradition. You can find it inside the old Central Bathhouse,
also known as the “Messal Bathhouse” at the beginning of the 20th century.
In fact, it is one of the few buildings on Krakowskie Przedmieście, which survived the years of occupation unscathed.

However, the Messal pre-war apartment house (once found on Krakowskie Przedmieście 16/18) is nowhere to be found. Only its annex remains standing.  

The front of the house is long gone. Similarly to the Oranowski apartment house, this building too had loomed over its neighbors, further turning attention of passers-by thanks to its striking gable walls.
It served as a luxury apartment house. Kuksz i Liedtke, a construction company, razed a number of older apartment houses to free the land for the Messal in 1909.

Juliusz Dzierżanowski designed the new building. It rose up from the ground as fast as it was then possible. The workers labored day and night, using artificial lights, so that the walls would be roofed before winter. To our knowledge, the building was completed in the middle of 1910. A number of jutties, balconies, and a picturesque top with a slim, spire roof enlivened its façade. The interiors and facades of the annexes were furnished with secession-era decorations. The building housed a large central bathhouse, which could be accessed from Krakowskie Przedmieście. The bathhouse’s furnishings were done as exquisitely as the rest of the apartment house.

The spectacular tiles and ceramic decoration of Stanisław Jagmin found inside were supplied by the Warsaw-based firm, Alina & Laurysiewicz. The owners of this apartment house advertised its apartments, which were fitted with electricity, central heating, electric dust removers and elevators. One of these apartments was taken by a famous diva of the Warsaw Opera House - Lucyna Messal. Soon enough, her name took to the whole building. 
The exquisite artistic skills of Lucyna Messal were second only to her sense of fashion, and she was known as one of the most fashionable residents of Warsaw. In the inter-war period, the building was also home to a now-forgotten literate named Ludwik Fiszer. Juliusz Wiktor Gomulicki reminisced about Lunio, as they called him, and his parties, which long remained in the memories of his guests. In the first months of 2008,

The restored central bathhouse, still furnished in secession-era style, is now home to a luxury Likus Concept Store. Inside, guests may find a restaurant and several stores, skillfully blended with the ambiance of the old bath. A Kraków family of Likusy is now the owners of the building.
