Pałacyk Wielopolskich, Classical palace in Śródmieście, Warsaw, Poland.
Pałacyk Wielopolskich is a classicist palace in Warsaw's Śródmieście district featuring a square main block with a front facade on Aleje Ujazdowskie and a long rear extension. The structure demonstrates the restrained proportions typical of this architectural style.
This structure was built between 1875 and 1876 for Antoni Nagórny, who directed the Department of Industry and Commerce at the Polish Bank, designed by architect Józef Huss. It survived World War II without damage and underwent significant restoration work in 1948.
The residence represents the evolution of Warsaw architecture through its classical design elements and the symmetrical arrangement of interior spaces.
The palace sits at the intersection of Aleje Ujazdowskie and Aleja Róż in a central location that is easy to find and navigate. Its position on a major street makes it straightforward for visitors exploring this neighborhood.
The building served as the headquarters of the British Embassy from 1945 to 2008, playing a significant role in Polish-British diplomatic relations throughout that period. This long tenure left a mark on its modern history and importance in the city.
