Szlenkier Palace, Renaissance Revival palace in Śródmieście, Poland.
Szlenkier Palace is a Renaissance Revival palace in Warsaw's city center featuring white marble stairs and Ionic columns. The building combines these classical elements with decorative details inspired by the Italian Palazzo Davia Bargellini in Bologna.
The palace was built between 1881 and 1883 for merchant Karol Jan Szlenkier. The Italian diplomatic mission acquired the building in 1922 as their headquarters.
The ground floor displays strong rustication patterns inspired by Italian design traditions. The windows and balcony doors follow Renaissance architectural principles that define the building's character.
The building is located at Jana Henryka Dąbrowskiego Square 6 in Warsaw and currently functions as the Embassy of the Italian Republic. Visitors should note that as an active diplomatic mission, access to the interior may be restricted or require prior arrangement.
The facade features atlantes supporting the balcony along with symbolic figures representing industry and commerce. These decorative elements directly reflected the merchant owner's profession and status.
