Photo and description

The Uruski Palace is a palace located in the historical part of Warsaw, directly opposite the Chalski Palace. It is now part of the University of Warsaw.

The building, located between the university gate and the Tyszkiewicz Palace, originally belonged to Stanislaw Poniatowski, who was the father of King Stanislaw August Poniatowski. It was in this building that the young Ponyatovsky learned about his election.

In 1843, the Poniatovsky family sold the palace to Severin Urusky, who decided to build a fundamentally different palace on the site of the existing one. The new owner hired Andrzej Golonski, who was building a Renaissance palace in 1844-1847. All sculptures in the palace were created by Ludwik Kaufman. Later, a new wing was added to the building, inside which housed a coach house and apartments.

After the death of Severin Urusky in 1890, the palace became the property of his first wife, and then his daughter Maria married Vladimir Zhetvertunsky. In 1893-1895, work was carried out in the palace under the leadership of Joseph Hus.

In 1944, the Uruski Palace was burned down, work on the restoration of the building was carried out until 1951. Even before the start of reconstruction, the building became the property of the University of Warsaw. Currently, the palace houses the Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies of the University of Warsaw.
