The Mostowski Palace in Warsaw 's Tarchomin district is part of a building and park ensemble from the 18th and 19th centuries, which is located around 10 kilometers from the city center on the right (eastward) bank of the Vistula in the north of the city. Today the well-preserved and well-kept complex belonging to the Białołęka district is used by the Warsaw-Praga diocese . The address is Ulica Józefa Mehoffera 2 . The small Brühl Palace is roughly on the opposite side of the Vistula . The entire ensemble is listed in all of its individual components.
history
A single-storey mansion that still exists was probably built by the magnate Józef Kanty Ossoliński in the second half of the 18th century. He had acquired the Tarchomin property there in 1738. The previous owners included the Wessel and Gołyński families. The new mansion was a wooden structure with a shingle-roofed mansard roof and was designed in the style customary at the time as a simple, baroque Polish mansion. The entrance, designed as a veranda, is covered by a gable resting on four pillars. The back of the building faces the Vistula and is protected against flooding by a dike. Until its restoration in the 2000s, the outer walls were plastered and the roof was covered with tar paper .
Mostowski family
Around 1790, Tadeusz Mostowski acquired the manor house and the surrounding park. Mostowski valued the place for its scenic beauty, which is why he decided to have a palace built there.
The new building was built in the classical style at the beginning of the 19th century. The two-storey palace with a basement stands on a square plan across the manor house. It is narrow and is divided into 13 window axes. In hipped roof are dormers . On its south-facing front facade, the palace has a mighty, sunken portico that extends over both floors and has four Doric columns. The middle window axis is designed here with a semicircular window. The outer walls are rusticated on the ground floor .
The construction history of the building is partly unknown. Simon Gottlieb Zug von Mostowski was commissioned to create the project . Its project could not be finished, however, and today's palace building, which was built between 1801 and 1825, may only represent a smaller part of the concept at that time (northern side wing). Its execution is attributed to the architect Henryk Ittar .
Mukhanov family
After the November Uprising was put down, Pawieł Muchanow, a representative of the Russian occupation authorities, who was married to the daughter of the last owner, Józef Mostowski, took over the property. Mostowski had been expropriated and expelled from the country because of his participation in the uprising.
The next owner was Siergiej Muchanow, whose wife was the pianist Maria Kalergis.
In 1881, the entrepreneur Władysław Kisiel-Kiślański, who also held the function of secret papal chamberlain for Pope Pius XI. exercised the facility. In connection with the work for the Pope, Kisiel-Kiślański later transferred the Tarchominer property to a foundation dedicated to the Pope ( Fundacja im. Ojca Świętego Piusa XI ) to set up a home for war invalids ( Dom Inwalidów Wojennych Wojska Polskiego ).
A frequent visitor to the palace after World War II was the Primate of Poland, Stefan Wyszyński .
Archdiocese of Warsaw
The park and building ensemble has belonged to the Archdiocese of Warsaw since it was transferred in the 1920s . Today it houses a seminary of the Warsaw-Prague diocese ( Wyższe Seminarium Duchowne Diecezji Warszawsko-Praskiej Matki Bożej Zwycięskiej ). The extension of a modern seminar building designed by Leszek Klejnert began in 1999. This three-story, larger new building, located lengthways behind the palace, harmonises with the palace and the surrounding area. A stylized portico with a triangular gable is also integrated in the driveway / entrance area .
today
The individual components of the facility lie in the remains of a landscape park from the beginning of the 19th century. In addition to the old mansion, the palace and the new seminar building, there are various farm buildings, including the ruin of such a building from the 18th and 19th centuries. Century. Immediately adjacent is the parish church of St. Jacob ( Kościół Św. Jakuba Apostoła , in the Józefa Mehoffera 4 ), which was first built around 1520. The current building is based on a foundation of the Ossoliński family from the end of the 16th century. In the further course of time, extensions - also financed by the Ossolińskis - were added. The church with its later built baroque bell tower and gate is a typical example of Mazovian Gothic .
