Primate's Palace, Classical palace at Senatorska Street, Warsaw, Poland.
The Primate's Palace is a neoclassical building on Senatorska Street featuring white stone facades and symmetrical windows arranged across three stories. Classical columns frame the entire front, giving the structure its formal and ordered appearance.
Bishop Wojciech Baranowski commissioned the construction of this palace in 1593 as a residence for Poland's Primate. The building sustained significant damage during warfare but underwent multiple reconstructions, serving as an administrative center until 1795.
The palace served as a gathering place for Poland's religious and political leaders for centuries. Visitors can still see the grand rooms that reflect this important historical role.
The building now functions as a five-star hotel with luxury guest rooms, dining facilities, and event spaces. Visitors can explore the classical interiors during stays or through guided tours of the public areas.
For centuries this served as the administrative heart for Poland's highest religious authority and influenced major decisions of the church and state. Its transformation into a luxury hotel preserves the historic spaces while giving them new purpose in contemporary life.
