Central Agricultural Library

The Central Agricultural Library is a scientific institution in Warsaw housing extensive collections focused on farming research and agricultural publications. The building provides specialized reading areas, a digital catalogue system, and access to research databases for academics and students.

The building sustained damage during World War II and was restored during Poland's post-war reconstruction in the 1950s. It was established as a center for scientific documentation to support the country's agricultural advancement.

The library's collections reflect how Polish agriculture evolved across generations through research and practice. Visitors can explore materials showing the development of farming methods and scientific work over time.

The library is open on weekdays during business hours and provides digital access to many materials for remote research. Collections can be used on-site in the reading areas, and it is helpful to check available resources before visiting.

Architect Chrystian Piotr Aigner blended classical design elements with modern functional spaces for preserving agricultural documents. This balance between timeless architecture and practical needs makes the building a noteworthy example of post-war construction in Warsaw.
