Dworek Grochowski w Warszawie, Renaissance Revival palace on Grochowska Street, Warsaw, Poland.
Dworek Grochowski is a Renaissance Revival palace located on Grochowska Street in Warsaw, Poland. This two-story building features banded rustication on its lower level and a central bay section adorned with entrance doors and balcony doors above.
Built in the 1830s for the Osterloff family, the palace initially served as a hub for brewing, distilling, and champagne production. Over time it transformed from an industrial facility into an educational institution.
The palace now houses a music school that serves as a cultural center for musical education in Warsaw. It continues to play an important role in the artistic life of the neighborhood.
The monument has been protected since 1965 and can be viewed from the street as it remains an active educational facility. Visitors should be aware that it is a working school building where access may be limited to exterior viewing.
The walls of the palace still bear marks from the Battle of Grochów, with cannonballs embedded in the masonry as evidence of past conflict. These physical traces serve as a silent reminder of the area's dramatic wartime history.
