Śleszyński Palace, Classical palace in Śródmieście, Poland
Śleszyński Palace is a classicist structure on Aleje Ujazdowskie in Warsaw, defined by a grand portico topped with a pediment and two stories in height. The building connects to the adjacent property at number 23, together forming a unified architectural composition in central Warsaw.
Built in 1826 by architect Antonio Corazzi, the palace originally belonged to Captain Stanisław Śleszyński and his wife Gertruda Emilia from the Jakubowski family. After destruction during World War II, it was reconstructed between 1947 and 1948 by architects Helena and Szymon Syrkus.
The palace served as home to important diplomatic missions over the years, housing the British consulate during the 1840s and later the Serbian embassy. This succession of international use reflects its role as a center for diplomacy in Warsaw.
The palace sits at Aleje Ujazdowskie 25 in central Warsaw and is easily accessible from the street. Visitors can view and examine the exterior from the sidewalk without difficulty.
The structure was rebuilt after the war by architects who carefully reproduced the original classical design, making it a testament to meticulous restoration. This attention to detail preserves how the building looked when it was first completed.
