Marymont Palace

At the behest of king John III Sobieski, a palace was constructed between 1691 and 1696 for his wife, queen Marie Casimire.

[1][2] The main structure featured multiple floors and had a square layout, crowned with an elegant tented roof and an intricately designed onion dome.

[1][2] In 1727, the Sobieski family sold the palace to king Augustus II the Strong of Poland, who was also Elector of Saxony.

[3] When Stanisław August Poniatowski became King of Poland in 1764, Mariemont palace remained in the possession of the Saxon Electors.

[2] After the January Uprising in 1863 and 1864, the palace and the institute were transferred to the Imperial Russian Army to be used as cavalry barracks.
