The Ujazdow Castle (Polish: Zamek Ujazdowski) construction began in 1624 on the order of King Sigismund III Vasa, but castles have existed on the spot since around the 13th century. The castle was remodeled by subsequent owners StanisÃ
âaw Herakliusz Lubomirski and StanisÃ
âaw August Poniatowski, the latter of whom donated the property to the Polish Army in 1784. In the 18th century the castle was included in the Stanislavian Axis, a line of parks and palaces planned in the southern outskirts of Warsaw. During the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 the Castle was destroyed by Germans. The current building was reconstructed in 1975. Since 1981 it has been the home of the Center for Contemporary Art. |
