3 Zagórna Street in Warsaw

3 Zagórna Street in Warsaw, Art Nouveau building in Śródmieście, Warsaw, Poland.

The Dom im. Wojciecha Sawickiego at 3 Zagórna Street is a three-storey Art Nouveau building with a usable attic, covered by a mansard roof and flanked by two projecting stairwell bays. Its facade retains two plaques: one reading "Dom Imienia Wojciecha Sawickiego 1915" and another with an image of the Virgin Mary of Częstochowa.

Wojciech Sawicki, director of the Bank Handlowy in Warsaw, funded the house in 1915 as an orphanage for poor children, mainly girls, from Powiśle. Its original address was Zagórna 9, changed after World War II. In 1919 Sawicki gave it to the city, and from then it housed Public School No. 29, attended by Jan Bytnar in 1930–1931. In 1940 the Wehrmacht seized it, and in August 1944 it served as insurgent field hospital No. 2.

The name honours Wojciech Sawicki, director of the Bank Handlowy, who funded the building in 1915 as an orphanage for poor girls from Powiśle. Two plaques survive on the facade: one reads "Dom Imienia Wojciecha Sawickiego 1915", the other shows an image of the Virgin Mary of Częstochowa.

Located in central Warsaw, the building sits at coordinates 52.226389, 21.041292 and is easy to find on foot. As a protected monument, it maintains strict preservation standards that keep its original character intact.

The facade carries two plaques that survived the war: one reads "Dom Imienia Wojciecha Sawickiego 1915", the other shows an image of the Mother of God of Częstochowa. Sawicki, director of the Bank Handlowy, funded the house as an orphanage for poor children, mainly girls, from Powiśle. Its address was originally Zagórna 9 and was changed after 1945.
