Michler Palace, Townhouse in Wola district, Warsaw, Poland
Michler Palace was a townhouse at 40 Wolska Street built in the late 19th century with decorative details and fine construction among standard residential buildings of the era. The structure served as a key administrative center during a major event in Warsaw.
The building served as a command center during an armed uprising in 1944 before falling under German occupation forces. After capture, it was completely demolished, and a memorial marking the site was erected in 2007.
A famous wartime song about this place was composed by Polish poet Józef Szczepański and later performed across Poland by Mieczysław Fogg. The song keeps alive memories of the location in Polish cultural history.
Visitors can see the memorial stone along Wolska Street marking the former location of the building. The site is easy to reach and located in a central district of Warsaw.
The building belonged to Karol Michler, an entrepreneur who operated a factory nearby producing pasta and bread. This business ran successfully until German occupation in 1939.
