Sapieha Palace, Warsaw

Started by the powerful Sapieha family who gave the name to the building, it currently houses the Environmental Protection School Complex.

[2] The palace, commissioned by Jan Fryderyk Sapieha, Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, was built in Rococo style in 1731-1746 by Johann Sigmund Deybel.

At that time it consisted of five-axial main buildings (corps de logis) and two outbuildings between the palace and a street.

[3] The Neo-Classical remodelling in the early 19th century was the work of Wilhelm Henryk Minter.

[4] During the November Uprising of 1830–1831 it served as the barracks for the famous Polish 4th Infantry Regiment (Czwartacy).
