Krasiński Palace
About

Krasiński Palace in Warsaw is a magnificent example of Baroque architecture and one of the city’s most beautiful historic residences. Built in the late 17th century for the powerful Krasiński family, the palace was designed to reflect their wealth and status, featuring a grand façade, ornate decorations, and a layout inspired by the French style of “cour d'honneur,” with a courtyard in front and formal gardens behind. Over time, it served many roles, including housing the Crown Treasury and later the Supreme Court. Severely damaged during World War II, the palace was rebuilt after the war and today is home to part of the National Library’s special collections, preserving rare manuscripts and historic documents. After a major restoration completed in 2024, sections of the palace opened to the public, offering a glimpse into its splendid interiors and historical treasures. Set against the peaceful backdrop of the Krasiński Garden, the palace provides a quiet and elegant escape in central Warsaw, making it a must-visit for history and architecture lovers.
