Krasiński Palace, Baroque palace in Warsaw, Poland

The Krasiński Palace features a symmetrical facade with a triangular pediment adorned by sculptural reliefs depicting ancient Roman military triumphs.

The palace, completed in 1683 for Jan Dobrogost Krasiński, underwent reconstruction after World War II when German forces destroyed most of its interior structure.

The palace houses special collections of the National Library of Poland, preserving important manuscripts, ancient books, and historical documents for research purposes.

Located at Krasiński Square, the palace opens six days per week without entrance fees and contains exhibits showcasing Polish literary heritage.

The palace grounds feature modern, colorful Pegasus statues along Miodowa Street, contrasting with the classical baroque architecture of the main building.
