history

In the first half of the 17th century, the land on which the palace is located belonged to the wealthy Warsaw Baryczka family. Around 1670 it was part of the property of Franciszek Kazimierz Pląskowski. Presumably under him, a wooden building that had previously stood here was replaced by a spacious, brick mansion that fell to the Lithuanian Grand Chancellor Krzysztof Pac in the 1680s. Until the late eighteenth century, the building was known as the Pac Palace , although it only remained in the family until 1719. From then on Jan Michał Dąbrowski was the owner, who carried out construction work until it was taken over in 1737 by Kazimierz Dąmbski, a voivode from Sieradz . A view of the palace at that time is preserved on the border of the Warsaw city map by Pierre Ricaud de Tirregaille from 1762. The detached, single-storey baroque building, set back from the street development, stood - as was customary at the time - “entre cour et jardin”; it thus had a paved forecourt ( courtyard of honor ) and the garden behind the building.

Princess Maria Radziwiłłowa

In 1764 the princess Maria Radziwiłłowa , nee Lubomirska took over the palace and immediately began a major overhaul, especially the interior. From that time, the columns and placed thereon come sandstone - Putten (the performing artists could Jan. Chryzostom Redler been his) of the access door to the courtyard. From 1777 to 1790 the building was then expanded considerably. It was raised by one floor and equipped with a central projectile. The facade facing the garden was also structurally upgraded. The result was a compact, classical palace with two large, unconnected outbuildings that border the main courtyard. Stanisław Zawadzki is presumed to be the architect of this renovation . A tympanum located in the gable triangle of the central risalit shows a coat of arms used by the Lubomirski family (the “Szreniawa”).

19th century

After the death of Maria Radziwiłłowa in 1795, the property changed hands several times. In 1804 the confectioner Antoni Baldi bought the palace to rent it out. Under him and his successors (Ignacy Korwin Kochanowski, Wojciech Sommer, Louis Naimski, Aleksander Scheller and Xavier Głodziński), the outside of the palace was no longer significantly changed, but over the years it lost its character and charm as it contained increasingly smaller apartments and offices have been established. From 1827 (partly) authorities also had their seat here. In 1915 the Kahan family bought it.

War and Post War

The palace was destroyed during the Warsaw Uprising in World War II. Only parts of the front facade, the ground floor and parts of the gate decorations were preserved. It was rebuilt at the beginning of the 1950s; according to various sources under the direction of Anna Boye-Guerquin and the group of architects Jerzy Brabander / Mieczysław Kuzma / Zygmunt Kropisza. After the reconstruction, the Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences took its headquarters here.
