history
He was founded by King Sigismund III. Wasa built for his sons King Władysław IV. Wasa and John II Casimir as Villa Regia, picturesquely above the steep bank of the Vistula , today Kazimierz Park. During the Swedish occupation from 1655 to 1660 the palace was looted and destroyed. Some of the looted components were found in low water in the Vistula in 2012 . In 1660 it was chosen by John II Casimir Wasa as his summer residence after it was rebuilt by Isidoro Affaitati . From 1737 to 1739 it was rebuilt in the late baroque style by Joachim Daniel von Jauch and Johann Sigmund Deybel von Hammerau .
The palace was converted from 1765 to 1768 into the cadet corps of the knight school of Domenico Merlini . The knight school was here until 1795. Tadeusz Kościuszko , Kazimierz Pułaski , Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz and Józef Sowiński studied here .
In 1807 the French took over the palace. In 1808 it was made accessible again for educational purposes and until 1830 it was rebuilt by Hilary Szpilowski , Adam Idakowski , Wacław Ritschel and Michał Kado in the style of mature classicism. From 1817-1830 the famous Warsaw Lyzäum was located here . The interior was built in 1820.
Since 1824 the palace has been the rectorate of Warsaw University . The column portal also dates from this time.
In 1815 and 1816 the two strictly classical side wings by Hilary Szpilowski were added, which have been used by the Government Commission for Religion and Enlightenment since 1861, today the Institute of Law and the Institute of the History of Art and Oriental Studies. Antoni Sulimowski added the Corinthian columns.
