Since it is on the line of the street development , it differs from the usual Warsaw palaces (with a courtyard). The address is: ulica Zielna 49 , downtown district .

history

The small palace was built between 1874 and 1875 based on a design by Jan Kacper Heurich for the banker Jakub Janusz. It is one of the few pre-war buildings that have survived in this part of the city west of Marszałkowska Street . The PAST building is located around 100 meters south, also on the Zielna . The style of the palace is reminiscent of the French late Renaissance , it has three storeys and a steep mansard roof in the French style.

In 1893 the building was inherited by the widow Rosa Janasz and her two daughters Wiktoria Krzywoszewska and Julia Gutmanowa. The relatives sold the property in the same year to the couple Feliks and Zofia Czacki. After the death of his parents in 1911, the palace fell to Stanisław Czapski. Since 1915, the building has housed a home for blind children, initially under the direction of a Czacka and later under Superior Elizabeth of the Congregation of the Franciscan Sisters for Service on the Holy Cross in Laski (Polish: Zgromadzenia Sióstr Franciszkanek Służebnic Krzyża w Laskach ). Subsequently, the building belonged to a Jadwigia Broel-Plater and was used as a tenement house in the pre-war period. From 1939 to 1951, the Industrial Association of Steel Entrepreneurs (Polish: Polskiego Związku Przemysłowców Metalowych ) was the owner and user of the palace.

The palace was damaged as early as the beginning of the Second World War and then again during the bitter fighting of the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. From 1970 to 1973 the property was extensively renovated. As a result, the seat of the Directorate of the State Workshops for Monument Preservation (Polish: Przedsiębiorstwa Państwowego Pracownie Konserwacji Zabytków - PKZ) was housed here.
