Villa in Stawisko, Literary house museum in Podkowa Leśna, Poland.

A neoclassical villa surrounded by an 18-hectare property stands on elevated terrain with facades adorned by fieldstones and a distinctive hip roof.

Built between 1927 and 1928 by architect Stanisław Gądzikiewicz, the estate became a refuge for artists and Jews during World War II.

The residence of writer Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz and his wife Anna hosted numerous Polish intellectuals, including Karol Szymanowski and Czesław Miłosz.

The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM and Sunday from 10 AM to 3 PM, with regular tickets priced at 8 PLN.

The name Stawisko references a Ukrainian estate where Iwaszkiewicz worked as a tutor before establishing this cultural center near Warsaw.
