Sikorski Palace, Renaissance Revival palace in Wola district, Warsaw, Poland.
Sikorski Palace is a Renaissance Revival building in the Wola district featuring a symmetrical cream-colored facade with ornate stone trim and classical details. The structure displays elaborate decorative elements including carved cornices and refined window frames throughout its exterior.
The palace was built in 1880 by sculptor Aleksander Sikorski next to his workshop and purchased by stonemason Maurycy Borman in 1895. Its early ownership reflects the growth of artisan crafts and trade in this part of Warsaw during the industrial period.
The palace now serves as part of the Museum of Warsaw with displays about the Wola district's development. You can see how rooms were originally furnished and learn about the building's role in the daily life of the neighborhood.
The building sits on Srebrna Street and is easily reached on foot from public transportation stops in central Wola. Visitors should book a guided tour in advance to explore the interior rooms fully and learn about the building's past.
The building was originally designed to merge residential and workshop spaces for an artist and craftsman, an unusual arrangement for its time. This blend of private living area and working studio remains visible in how the structure is organized today.
