The Malachowski Palace (also known as the Loupia Palace ) is a baroque building from the 18th century in downtown Warsaw . The small palace is on the corner of Ulica Senatorska (number 11) and Ulica Miodowa . The Krakowskie Przedmieście is 30 meters and the Wawel Royal Castle about 140 meters away. On the opposite side of the Senatorska is the Branicki Palace , opposite the Miodowa the former palace of the Polish Primate .
history
In 1731, the mayor of Warsaw, Józef Benedykt Loupia, bought a plot of land from the Grzybowski family that stretched from Krakowskie Przedmieście to Senatorska . Here he built a palace in the late Baroque style on the part of the property that had been prepared for the Senatorska . At Krakowskie Przedmieście there was a magnificent baroque gate that gave access to the main courtyard of the palace. In 1750, the Grand Chancellor of the Crown, Jan Małachowski, bought the property and had the palace expanded and decorated - presumably based on a project by Giacomo Fontana . The chancellor's son, Mikołaj Małachowski, sold the property in 1874 to the company "Roesler & Hurtig".
In 1785, the new owners had Simon Gottlieb Zug build a three-story tenement house in the classicist style on the part of the property facing Krakowskie Przedmieście ; this building housed one of the city's first department stores on its ground floor. After the original side wings of the palace had been removed, the space between the corps de logis and the trading house was closed by the construction of two two-story outbuildings (which only left a small inner courtyard) so that the entire complex was connected to one another.
The group of buildings changed hands several times in the 19th century. After a road breakthrough was created with the extension of Miodowa to Krakowskie Przedmieście , the palace and apartment building were given side facades in the south in 1888. At the beginning of World War II , both objects burned down in bombing raids. The palace was rebuilt in 1947 and 1948 under the direction of Zygmunt Stępiński . Stępiński based his design on the original late Baroque design, he did not take over later additions, roof attachments and decorations. A little later, the apartment building on Krakowskie Przedmieście was also rebuilt. The connecting structure that used to run along the Miodowa was not rebuilt; today there is a parking lot here; the northern connecting structure was rebuilt.
The back of the palace was designed with a rococo -style central risalite with an attic and a crowning, free-standing cartouche by the sculptor Aleksander Żurawski.
Currently the seat of the board of the PTTK ( Society for Tourism and Regional Studies , Polish: Polskie Towarzystwo Turystyczno-Krajoznawcze ) is located in the palace .
