Małachowski Palace, Baroque palace in Warsaw, Poland
Małachowski Palace is a Baroque building in Warsaw with a symmetrical front and detailed stonework running along Senatorska Street. The structure rises over multiple levels with regularly spaced windows and doors that follow classical proportions of the period.
The building was constructed in 1731 as a residence for Polish nobility and later became the seat of the Ministry of Post and Telegraph. Its role as a government office ended in 2008, leading to a major restoration project.
The palace reflects the lifestyle and social standing of Warsaw's wealthy families in the 1700s, with its rich interior and exterior details showing how much importance was placed on displaying power and taste. Walking through it today reveals how the nobility lived and what mattered to them in their daily surroundings.
The palace is located at Senatorska Street 11 and is easily reached by public transportation, including nearby metro stations. Visitors should plan a daytime visit to appreciate the details of the facade when natural light is strongest.
During restoration between 2010 and 2013, modern windows were carefully integrated into the historical facade in a way that blends smoothly with the older stonework. This combination of past and present shows how historic buildings can be adapted for today without losing their original character.
