What to see across the royal estate
Łazienki means “Baths”. The main buildings:
1. Palace on the Isle (Pałac na Wyspie)
Originally built in the 1680s as a baroque bathing pavilion for Prince Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski, the building was redesigned by Domenico Merlini and Johann Christian Kammsetzer between 1772 and 1793 as King Stanisław August’s summer residence. The palace stands in the lake, linked to the land by two colonnaded bridges. Inside, the Ballroom, the Solomon Hall, and the Picture Gallery house 140 original works from the royal collection, including paintings by Rembrandt’s school and Marcello Bacciarelli.
2. The Old Orangery and Royal Theatre (Stara Oranżeria)
Built in 1785–1788 to shelter citrus trees, this horseshoe-shaped building contains an 18th-century wooden court theatre. The auditorium has trompe-l’œil ceiling frescoes by Jan Bogumił Plersch of an open sky with Apollo in his chariot, and private royal boxes. The main hall houses the Royal Sculpture Gallery, with plaster casts of ancient Roman and Greek statues.
3. The Amphitheatre on the Isle (Amfiteatr)
Built in 1790 on the southern lake shore and modelled on the ruins of ancient Herculaneum. The stone seating bowl is on the mainland; the stage, with Corinthian columns and Roman ruins, is on an artificial island across a canal.
4. Myślewicki Palace
A curved, three-wing neoclassical villa featuring original painted dining rooms and bedchambers used by King Stanisław August’s courtiers, including Prince Józef Poniatowski.
5. Wildlife in the gardens
Peacocks walk the palace terraces and lawns, and red squirrels (wiewiórki) in the old oaks and beeches will take raw walnuts from your hand.
