Marywil, Baroque palace in Warsaw, Poland
Description
Marywil is a baroque palace in Warsaw built with a pentagonal structure featuring residential wings, commercial spaces, and arcaded corridors surrounding a central marketplace courtyard. The building connected living quarters with trading areas through a network of galleries and passages designed for daily commerce.
History
Queen Maria Kazimiera Sobieska commissioned architect Tylman van Gameren to design the palace in 1692, commemorating King John III's victory at Vienna. The construction was completed around 1697 and became central to the city's commercial life.
Culture
The complex housed foreign merchants in small apartments, creating a thriving commercial center that shaped trade patterns in the city.
Practical
The palace was situated in central Warsaw and its internal structure connected residential and trading areas through arcaded pathways. The layout with galleries and passages made it easy for visitors and merchants to move between different sections.

The complex housed the Załuski Library starting in 1738, an important book collection that occupied its spaces. The library was eventually relocated, and the site was demolished to make way for the Grand Theatre.
