History
editThe exact year of the construction of the Symonowicz Palace remains unknown, but it is known that it was built before 1762.[1][2]
It was designed by architect Pierre Ricaud de Tirregaille in the baroque style. In 1770, it became the property of nobleperson Simon de Symonowicz. In the 19th century, the building frequently changed owners.[1][2]
In 1944, during the Warsaw Uprising in the Second World War, in its area took place heavy fighting, and the building was used as the hospital by the partisants. It was destroyed during the war, and rebuilt in 1951.[1][2]
Currently, the building houses a kindergarten.[3]
