Branicki Palace is the most important architectural monument in Poland. It is located in Warsaw. Local wealthy magnate Stefan Mikolaj Branicki purchased a plot of land in the early 18th century. This is where the palace was located. Construction of the new family residence began in 1740. It was completed in 1753. Initially, the building was distinguished by a luxurious facade design. The adjacent territory of the palace and its premises were decorated with unique sculptures. Unusual dormer windows were one of the main features of the palace.
The palace has changed several owners over the years. Famous politicians and cultural figures of the Polish capital were among them. Each of the new owners sought to bring something new to the appearance of the palace. It was partially destroyed during the Second World War. It was fully restored only by 1953. It belonged to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education after restoration. The palace was taken over by the municipality of Warsaw in 2009.
