design Zug referred directly to a pattern contained in J.F.
Neufforge’s publication, which was popular in the period
of neoclassicism. This type of churcharchitecture, thefirst
example of which in Poland was the church at Kock, was
later repeated several times by Zug himself, and also by
H. Szpilowski and Ch.P. Aigner. The composition of the
building of the town hall, consisting of a two-storey central
part, emphasized by a tower with an obelisk, and lower side
parts, suggests the division of the functions of the building.
The central part housed offices; the other, commercial
rooms. Zug repeated this principle in other town halls.

elevation, 1780-1781
The Church, founded by Primate Antoni Ostrowski, was
built in 1781 (according to the datę on a slab in the faęade).
To the new solid Szreger adapted the gothic tower and
designed fuli interior decoration of the Church, including
the altar, pulpit, wali polychromy and baptistry. The
Church was conceived of as the mausoleum of Primate
A. Ostrowski. The outline shape of the Church was
composed of contrasting simple and economical geometri-
cal structures. The lucid composition of shapes was empha-
sized further by a rhythmical system of Windows and
restrained architectural detail.

The church at Skierniewice, ground plan
The external composition of the architecture of the church
is in harmony with the interior with unified expression.
Simplicity, economy, composition values and harmony
between the external shape and the interior, all put the
church at Skierniewice among the most outstanding exam-
ples of neoclassical architecture in Poland.

77 [50, 51] Warsaw-Natolin, pałace, park elevation, 1780—
1782
The pałace was built in 1780-1782 for the then owners of
nearby Wilanów, Duke August Czartoryski and his daugh-
ter Izabela Lubomirska. The painted decoration of some
interiors was the work of the well-known Italian architect
and decorator V. Brenna. The pałace was rebuilt in 1806
(the front elevation, the vestibule and the first-floor apart-
ments) to Stanisław Kostka Potocki’s design, and to Ch.P.
Aigner’s in 1808 with collaboration of S.K. Potocki (the
decoration of the Open Salon, the Parlour, the Mosaic
Cabinet and the Dining Room). At that time Natolin was
a residence of Aleksander and Anna Potocki. The pałace at
Natolin is an example of the early neoclassical magnate
summer residences which appeared in the area of Warsaw
in the last quarter of the 18th century. The most
characteristic element of its architecture, which was pat-
terned on English and French buildings of this type, is
the semi-open oval salon on the side of the park. It is inter-
esting to notę the picturesque situation of the pałace on the
edge of a steep escarpment.
78 [48, 49] Warsaw-Natolin, pałace, generał view and
elevation from the courtyard, 1780-1782 and 1806
In the elevation on the side of the courtyard, an open
terrace is contained between two longprojections. Theexit
from the terrace was through a triple-arcaded doorway. In
1806 the elevation was given new architectural decoration,
designed by Stanisław Kostka Potocki. With this decora-
tion the eleyation acquired a completely different character
from that of the other external walls of the pałace This
difference was the result of Doric order elements. The
change to the morę simple and austere decoration agreed
with the generał contemporary tendencies towards archi-
tecture which was economic in decoration and austere in
expression.

was burnt down and destroyed in 1939 and 1944; it was
rebuilt in 1959-1964 to Jan Bieńkowskie design.
