Sapieha Palace, Warsaw
Sapieha Palace, Warsaw, Rococo palace in Śródmieście, Warsaw, Poland
Sapieha Palace is a Rococo structure in Warsaw's Śródmieście district featuring a five-part main facade with two connecting wings in French architectural style. The side pavilions elegantly link the central residence to the street frontage.
Jan Fryderyk Sapieha, Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, commissioned architect Johann Sigmund Deybel in 1731 to build this palace, completed by 1746. Later conversion to military barracks reflected the shifting political circumstances of 19th-century Warsaw.
The palace now serves as an Environmental Protection School, where students move through its rooms for classes and learning activities. The space blends its aristocratic roots with contemporary educational purposes.
The building now houses an Environmental Protection School and is generally not open to casual visitors, but its exterior can be viewed from the street. The location sits centrally in Śródmieście and is easy to reach on foot.
German forces destroyed the building in 1944, but architect Maria Zachwatowiczowa oversaw its complete rebuilding during the 1950s with careful attention to the original design. The reconstruction stands as a notable example of post-war restoration in Warsaw.
