List of palaces in Warsaw
History of palace construction in Warsaw
After it was decided in the second half of the 16th century with the Union of Lublin and the Articuli Henriciani that the Sejm should meet in Warsaw and that the election of the king should take place in a suburb of Warsaw, many of the powerful Polish magnate families began to hold residences for theirs to establish regular residence in the city. As Sigismund III. Wasa at the turn of the 17th century began - initially unofficially - to relocate the royal residence to Warsaw, where other noble families built palaces befitting their status. With the official designation as the capital of Poland in 1795, a third wave of expansion of the city with magnate residences finally followed.
In the history of the Warsaw palaces, often came over inheritance or sale in the hands of other families, so always diving members of the same old family Branicki , Chodkiewicz , Czartoryski , Czetwertyński , Denhoff , Krasinski , Koniecpolski , Leszczynski , Lubomirski , Ossoliński , Opaliński , Ostrogski , Pac , Poniatowski , Potocki , Prażmowski , Raczyński , Radziwiłł , Sapieha , Sanguszko , Sieniawski , Sobieski , Tyszkiewicz , Wielopolski or Zamoyski as builders or owners.
Architectural style
The palaces in Warsaw today mostly show a baroque or classicist architectural style. Mixed forms are rather rare, as the buildings that were rebuilt after the war were mostly built in a uniform state from the past. There are only a few buildings in the style or with echoes of Rococo , Historicism ( Neo-Renaissance , Eclecticism ) or Art Deco / Art Nouveau .
builder
In addition to Polish architects, Dutch and, above all, Saxon and Prussian builders played a decisive role in the construction of the Warsaw palaces in the 17th and 18th centuries. Various descendants of Italian immigrant families were influential in the 19th century. In the years 1946 to 1960, many Polish architects were employed in the context of the massive construction of war-torn objects.

location
The vast majority of the former Warsaw residences are located on the historical part of the Royal Wing (from the Royal Castle to the Belevedere Palace ) and on the streets Ulica Długa , Ulica Miodowa and Ulica Senatorska surrounding the old and new towns . Due to a lack of space, these palaces could not be built within the city walls of the old town; even in the new town there was only room for a few residences ( Chodkiewicz Palace , Mokronowski Palace, Sapieha Palace ). So most of the objects were created in the suburban area around the original city. The best location was on the high bank of the Vistula . Here - in line with the royal seats near the old town and in Jazdów ( Ujazdowski Castle ) - important families built their residences as early as the 17th century - such as the Kazanowskis or the Koniecpolskis ( presidential palace ). The parks of these palaces were located on the embankment sloping down towards the Vistula.
Palace complex
A typical feature of the Warsaw residences is the “French” structure of the ensemble: they are mostly symmetrical three-wing complexes with a set-back core structure ( corps de logis ), which is flanked by two side wings facing the street, thus forming the courtyard (cour d'honneur) . They are bordered on the street side by a grid with a gate in the central axis.
With a few exceptions ( Palace of the Bishops of Krakow ) , palaces in alignment with the street development were not built until the turn of the 19th century. Even if the residences from the 17th and 18th centuries were built in the Baroque style, they were mostly redesigned in a classicist or neo-renaissance style through renovations in the 19th century .
World War II and destruction
Almost all Warsaw palaces were destroyed in the Second World War. During the German attack on Warsaw in 1939, many objects in the inner city district were hit by bombs and most of them burned out. During the bitter fighting in the outlying districts during the Warsaw Uprising , palaces that were already damaged and still undamaged were also destroyed. The effort to finally destroy the city immediately following the suppression of the uprising eliminated building remains. Around 90% of the building fabric was lost. Only a few residences (mostly smaller objects) survived the destruction with only minor damage: the Belvedere, Dziewulski , Janasz , Karnicki , Koniecpolski , Natolin and Krasiński palaces . After the war, a majority of the destroyed palaces were rebuilt and mostly used as the seat of authorities. Since many palaces had been used as apartment buildings before the outbreak of war and had run down, older versions of the building history were largely chosen for the reconstruction. Old engravings and paintings were helpful here as models; works by Bernardo Bellotto (Canaletto) in particular were used to restore the baroque buildings.
reconstruction
Only in exceptional cases were palaces not built in an earlier original state. The successor building to the Rzyszczewski Palace was built on its foundations, but it is built in the neoclassical style, which the building never had. The Potocki Palace in Jabłonna never looked like it is today. The Jabłońowski Palace, which was only built between 1995 and 1997, has only one facade that corresponds to the old building, the entire structure at the rear is modern, functional architecture. The palaces Badeni , Gozdzki, Kotowski , Kronenberg , Lelewel , Walicki, Wierzbowski , Branicki as well as the Brühl and the Saxon Palais were not rebuilt . The reconstruction of some of these buildings is being discussed.
Lists
In the two following lists there are currently 94 existing and 26 former palaces. The list includes buildings in what is now Warsaw's urban area. Palaces in the Warsaw area (e.g. in Jabłonna ) are included in the list of castles, chateaus and palaces in the Masovian Voivodeship . Due to inconsistent linguistic regulation, those buildings are recorded that are referred to in German or Polish as palace (Polish: Pałac ), palais (Polish: Pałacyk ) or castle (Polish: Zamek ). In exceptional cases, this also includes lordly designed apartment buildings, provided they were used by the builder himself (such as the Gay Palace) or government offices (such as the palace of the Government Commission for Income and Finance ). As a rule, objects that were designed and built after the Second World War are not included (e.g. the Warsaw Palace of Culture or lavish private residences, exception: the palatial Russian embassy in the style of real socialist classicism). Buildings rebuilt after the war are included.
The year of completion is usually given as the construction date. Only known major modifications or extensions of the objects are recorded. This means that only a part of all the architects and builders involved in the redesigns to different style periods are named.
