Description
The Belweder Palace was built about 1660 in the Baroque style. In the 18th century it was acquired by the King of Poland, Stanislaw August Poniatowski, who used it as a porcelain-manufacturing plant. The building was remodeled in 1819ââ¬â22 in the Neoclassical style by Jakub Kubicki. After the regaining of Polands independence in 1918, the Belweder served as quarters to Józef PiÃ
âsudski, and in 1922-26 as the presidential residence of Gabriel Narutowicz and StanisÃ
âaw Wojciechowski. Currently the Belweder Palace is the official residence of the Polish president BronisÃ
âaw Komorowski. It also houses a museum dedicated to Józef PiÃ
âsudski.
