Palazzo Querini Papozze is a building in Venice located in the Cannaregio district and overlooking the Grand Canal between Palazzo Correr Contarini Zorzi and Palazzo Emo in San Leonardo.
Built for the Querini family, who owned it until the 19th century, today it is divided into apartments. Originally built in Byzantine style according to the stylistic features of the house-warehouse, it was restructured during the Gothic and Renaissance periods, only to be partially destroyed on 21 October 1815 by a fire. After this event, a second one was built, far from the forms of the previous one.
Characterized by a very extensive but simple and functional white facade, this building is characterized by a succession of simple rectangular openings and a large rear garden. The main front, overall of very little architectural value and overlooking the Grand Canal, is bordered by a private foundation: it was built after the fire of 1815, differing from any other in its seriality. It has forty-three windows and three doors. Only a well in the courtyard and a porch facing the back remain of the ancient building. The Querini coat of arms on the facade is a modern copy. The large rear garden has among its peculiarities a bridge built during the nineteenth century in a style full of references to Chinese taste, in accordance with the fashion of the time.
