Kubicki Arcades, Royal stable beneath Warsaw Castle, Poland
The Kubicki Arcades form a seven-arched brick structure extending approximately 195 meters along the eastern side of Warsaw Castle. Circular windows placed between each arch section provided light and ventilation for the former royal stables that once occupied this space.
Built between 1818 and 1821 by architect Jakub Kubicki, the structure originally served as royal stables for the kingdom. After the 1831 November uprising, Russian military forces took control and converted it for their own use.
The renovated interior space underneath the castle now hosts exhibitions, theatrical performances, and concerts that bring the arcades to life. These venues serve as meeting places where locals and visitors experience art and culture in an unexpected underground setting.
Escalators connect the arcade complex directly to Warsaw Castle, making it easy to move between these two structures. Plan to spend time exploring the underground space, as there are many details and events to discover within this venue.
The arcades survived the World War II bombing that destroyed the castle above, making them one of the few remaining structures from the early 19th century in Warsaw. This survival gives them special value as a tangible link to the city's pre-war history.
