Uruski Palace

The Uruski Palace (Polish: Pałac Uruskich) is a historical building located on Krakowskie Przedmieście in Warsaw, Poland.

[2] Formerly, on the site of the present palace stood a Baroque palace built at the turn of the 1830s and 1840s, attributed to the architect Jan Zygmunt Deybel, a castellan of Kraków under Stanisław Poniatowski, father of King Stanisław August Poniatowski.

The palace changed hands several times; in 1843 it became the property of Seweryn Uruski, marshal of the nobility of the Warsaw governorate, a privy counselor, and mayor[clarification needed] of the Imperial Court.

[3] The project was commissioned by architect Andrzej Gołoński, who gave the new building its Renaissance architectural style.

Presently, the palace houses the Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies of the University of Warsaw.
