Palazzo Molin Querini, also known as Palazzo Molin or Palazzo Molin alla Maddalena, is a Venetian building located in the Cannaregio district and overlooking the Grand Canal where it flows into the Rio della Maddalena, near San Stae. It is located next to Palazzo Emo alla Maddalena.
The last reconstruction dates back to the XVIII. It belonged to the Molins of the Maddalena Ferry. The bishop of Brescia and cardinal Giovanni Molin (1705-1773) lived in the building.
It has a very characteristic and lively map, subject to the difficult
geographical context in which it stands and to the sinuosity of this
stretch of canal.
The facade is divided in two by an important
corner:
to the left are the water gate, the outlet onto the Grand
Canal of Calle del Traghetto and a serliana balcony flanked by three
single-lancet windows on the main floor level.
on the right there are
only two mullioned windows facing the Rio della Maddalena.
In
addition to the ground floor and the noble floor, there is an upper
floor, an attic and a mezzanine between the ground and first floors. It
has a very small central courtyard.
