Copper-Roof Palace, Baroque palace in Śródmieście, Warsaw, Poland
The Copper-Roof Palace features a distinctive copper-covered roof and stands at the foot of the Royal Castle along Castle Square.
Construction of the palace began in 1698 under the direction of architect Giacomo Fontana, commissioned by Jerzy Dominik Lubomirski.
The palace now functions as part of the Royal Castle Museum, displaying collections of historical books and oriental carpets for public viewing.
Visitors can reach the palace through Castle Square, with entrance fees starting at 3 zloty, making it accessible for most tourists.
German forces burned major sections of the palace in 1944, leading to a reconstruction that used 18th-century paintings by Bernardo Bellotto as references.
