Supreme Court of Poland, Supreme Court in Krasiński Square, Warsaw, Poland
The Supreme Court of Poland occupies a modern building on Krasiński Square in Warsaw, with a facade combining copper-clad columns and glass surfaces. The architecture blends contemporary forms with classical elements, including three sculptures at the rear entrance.
The court began its work in 1917 and suspended operations during World War II. After the war ended, it resumed activity with a new structure shaped by the postwar political changes.
The court's name honors its role as the highest judicial authority in Poland's legal system. The three pillars at the entrance carry Latin inscriptions of Roman law principles that visitors can read as they approach.
Access to the building is limited for the public, as the court remains an active legal institution with security checks in place. Visitors can view the exterior facade and sculptures from the square without needing to enter the interior.
The building was completed in 2000 and stands beside the Monument to the Warsaw Rising. This spatial proximity connects the modern courthouse with an important site of Polish memory.
