History
King Augustus II commissioned the building in the early 18th century for his daughter, hiring renowned Saxon architects to design it. The palace changed hands multiple times and underwent major renovations during the early 19th century.
Culture
The palace served as a gathering place where Warsaw's artists and writers performed and created their works. Its rooms drew talented people together and reflected the city's active cultural life.
Practical
Entry to the interior is currently not possible since the building has been closed for a long time. From the street, visitors can admire the architectural form and the characteristic blue roof tiles on the exterior.
