The Rzyszczewski Palace , also known as the Rzyszczewski Villa (Polish: Willa Rzyszczewskiego ) was located in Warsaw's inner city district on a corner lot on Aleje Ujazdowskie and Ulica Chopina streets . The property was destroyed in the Second World War . In the post-war period, a building similar in shape was built on its foundations, but it cannot be described as the reconstruction of the original palace. This is where the Hungarian embassy in Poland is located today .
history
The no longer existing palace had the address Aleje Ujazdowskie 21 . It was built here from 1899 to 1902 under the architect François Arveuf for a Count Rzyszczewski. The building, which had an approximately square floor plan, was designed in the style of historicism based on the French baroque . The residence had three floors above a basement , the top of which was in a steep French-style mansard roof . On the magnificent front facade of the Aleje Ujazowskie , the palace had two side projections , the roofs of which were equipped with raised tower domes. The main entrance was on Ulica Chopina , the Ujazdowskie had a narrow balcony on the ground floor with bars and stairs to the garden. Ornamental balconies were also in front of the windows on the first floor.
On the opposite corner of the Chopina there was a five-storey apartment building in the Secession style by Maurycy Spokorny. This object was also destroyed in the war and, along with the Rzyszczewski Palace, is one of the few buildings on Ujazdowskie that has not been rebuilt according to the original model. In the north, the Rzyszczewski residence is adjoined by the Leszczyński palace, which was used as the embassy building of Yugoslavia and Serbia until the 2000s.
The Rzyszczewski Palace burned down in 1939. After the war - presumably as early as 1946 - a similar building was erected on its foundation walls, albeit in a neoclassical style. Instead of the expanded mansard roof of the previous building, it was given a second floor with a flat roof with a surrounding balustrade attica . The side elevations to the front facade were also rebuilt, but they no longer received a hood. After the construction, the Hungarian embassy moved into the building.
Embassy of Hungary
The Hungarian embassy (Polish: Ambasada Węgier w Polsce , Hungarian: Magyar Köztársaság Nagykövetsége ) is located at Ulica Chopina 2 . The embassy also has departments in other parts of Warsaw: the Hungarian Cultural Institute (Hungarian: Magyar Kulturális Intézet ) in Ulica Moniuszki 10 and the Hungarian Trade Mission (Hungarian: Nemzeti Külgazdasági Hivatal ) in Ulica Szwoleżerów 10 .
Before the war, the seat of the Hungarian Representation was located at Ulica Służewsko 5 (1925–1927), subsequently alternately in Ulica Mokotowska 48 (1930) and Ulica Koszykowa 10 (1938–1939); the seat of the trade mission was 29 ulica krucza .
