In early 1730s his successor, King August II the Strong, reformed the garden into a pheasant breeding and hunting area.

In late 18th century the Wilanów estate, including the grounds around the Pheasantry, passed on to son-in-law of Izabela Lubomirska, Stanisław Kostka Potocki.

The Pheasantry was also renamed to its modern name of Natolin in honor of the Potocki's granddaughter, Natalia Potocka (born 1807).

[3] The palace's reconstruction included rebuilding of the facade and the courtyard elevation, as well as notable changes in the internal design and decorations.

The new design was created by another of Poland's notable architects of the epoch, Chrystian Piotr Aigner, though some of the changes are attributed to Potocki himself.

The next administrators of estate, son August and the daughter-in-law Alexandra did not maintain the property so Natolin began to fall into decline.
