Palace Poniatowski From The 18th Century In Autumn Aura Jablonna, Legionowo District Royalty-Free Stock Photo

Jablonna has been the property of the P?ock bishops since the Middle Ages. They built a summer residence here in the 15th century. In 1773, the surrounding areas were bought from the P?ock chapter by Michal Poniatowski - the last primate of Poland and Lithuania, brother of King Stanislaw August. A year later a new palace was built here. It fit perfectly into the classicistic architectural style of the Stanis?aw era. The baroque garden was changed into an English-style park. At the end of the 18th century, Jab?onna was inherited by Prince Józef Poniatowski, and after his death in the Battle of Nations near Leipzig (1813), the prince's sister, Teresa Tyszkiewiczowa, inherited it. In 1944, the palace in Jab?onna was burnt down by the Germans. In the mid-twentieth century, it was taken over by the Polish Academy of Sciences. The palace was rebuilt and equipped as it looked in the late eighteenth and first half of the nineteenth century
