Muranów Palace of Warsaw, Baroque palace in central Warsaw, Poland
Muranów Palace is a Baroque structure in central Warsaw on ul Miodowa, featuring brightly colored Pegasus statues at its entrance and classical Baroque architectural details throughout. The building displays both imposing facades and gardens with walking paths and rest areas surrounding the grounds.
The palace was built in 1683 for nobleman Jan Dobrogost Krasiński as a significant aristocratic residence in Warsaw. After destruction during World War II, it was fully rebuilt to match its original Baroque design.
The palace now houses special collections of the National Library of Poland, where researchers and scholars come to study historical documents and archives.
The interior is closed to visitors, but the surrounding gardens with walking paths and seating areas are open to explore. Daytime visits work best to appreciate the building's exterior and garden features in natural light.
The palace's name comes from architect Simone Giuseppe Belotti, who had ties to Murano island near Venice. This naming choice eventually shaped the entire neighborhood and gave it its current identity.
