Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, Government building in central Warsaw, Poland
The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs building is a neoclassical structure at Aleja Szucha 23 marked by grand columns and balanced proportions. The interior is designed for functionality and serves as Poland's administrative center for managing international relations.
The building was completed in 1935 by architect Tadeusz Leśniewski and originally served as Poland's Supreme Audit Office. After World War II, the Foreign Ministry took over the structure in 1945 and has used it for diplomatic functions ever since.
The building serves as a visible symbol of Poland's international standing and its role in global diplomacy. People in Warsaw recognize it as a place where important decisions about the country's relations with other nations are made.
The building is not designed for open access and visits require prior arrangements with the ministry. The best time to visit is during regular office hours on weekdays, when staff are present to assist.
During World War II, the German Ordnungspolizei occupied the structure, marking a period of wartime control. This dark chapter makes the site a testament to Poland's resilience and renewal after the conflict ended.
