Jakub Kubicki
156 [149, 151] Warsaw, Belwederska Street, Belweder
pałace, front and park elevations, 1818-1822
The original pałace was built in the middle of the 17th
century and was later rebuilt in the first half of the 18th
century. From 1764 it belonged to King Stanislas Augus-
tus, who founded here a pottery factory. At the reąuest of
Duke Konstanty Pavlovich, Kubicki carried out its fuli
reconstruction. Kubicki is known mainly as the author of
country palaces, which he built at the turn of the 18th and
19th centuries (see Białaczów, Bejsce). They represented
the type of a smali pałace on a rectangular plan, with
a piłlared portico in the front. The architect employed this
traditional type in designing Belweder, but he added to the
main body on a rectangular plan lateral wings which
refracted at right angles. Thus, the Belweder pałace was
a direct continuation of an architectural type which had
taken shape as early as the reign of Stanislas Augustus.
Jakub Kubicki
157 [150] Warsaw, Belwederska Street, SybiPs (Diana’s)
Tempie, generał view, c. 1820
The park adjacent to the Belweder pałace was separated
from the Łazienki Park in 1818, and several park build-
ings, including the SybiPs Tempie, the Egyptian Bridge
and a well, were constructed here to Jakub KubickPs
design. The smali building of the SybiPs Tempie was
designed according to the traditional pattern of an ancient
tempie: on a rectangular plan, with a four-pillar portico.
This type of building was most freąuently introduced into
the “furnishings” of landscape parks in the second half of
the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries.
Antonio Corazzi (1792-1877)
158 [152] Warsaw, 35 Nowy Świat Street, Holowczyc’s
house, front elevation, 1820
This was built for Archbishop Szczepan Hołowczyc,
destroyed in 1944 and reconstructed in 1949 under the
supervision of Piotr Biegański.
As well as some dozens of public edifices, 419 dwelling
tenements were built in Warsaw in 1817-1829. Most of
them had modest architectural decoration, but a few
multi-axis houses with monumental, palace-like faęades
were built in the morę fashionable parts of the city, such as
Nowy Świat Street and Teatralny Sąuare. Hołowczyc’s
house, with its six-pillar Doric portico over two storeys was
one of the best late neoclassical examples of this type of
building in Poland.
Hilary Szpilowski
159 [153] Warsaw, 49 Nowy Świat Street, BentkowskPs
house, front elevation, 1819-1822
This house was built for Feliks Bentkowski, professor of
Warsaw University, destroyed in World War II and rebuilt
in 1949 under the supervision of Zygmunt Stępiński and
Mieczysław Kuźma.
In the times of the Kingdom of Poland, Hilary Szpilowski,
mainly known as the author of country palaces (see Mała
Wieś, Walewice), worked in the developing capital. As
a result of the formally disciplined composition of the
faęade, BentkowskPs house was distinct among his late
designs. The architect managed to avoid monotony by
introducing into the modest architecture some accentuated
motifs in the form of a Doric wali portico and a triglyph
entablature frieze.
Chrystian Piotr Aigner
160 [155] Warsaw, 66 Krakowskie Przedmieście Street,
Bernardine Guardhouse, front elevation, 1820-1821
The interior for the main city guardhouse was the result of
the addition of an architectural structure to the Bernardine
monastery which stood slightly back from the main
building linę. This building, which was burnt down in
1944, was restored to its original appearance in 1949. The
Bernardine belfry was also fitted with new decoration in
1820-1821. The new architectural elements, combined
with the faęade of St. Anne’s Church built thirty years
before, constituted an imposing complex, generally recog-
nized as one of the most interesting neoclassical designs in
Warsaw. The architectural composition of the Bernardine
guardhouse, particularly the slender first-floor arcading,
was related to a famous classical huilding: Marcellus’
theatre in Romę.
Antonio Corazzi
161 [154] Warsaw, 72 Nowy Świat Street, edifice of the
Society of the Friends of Science (Staszic Pałace), front
elevation, 1820-1823
The edifice was built on the initiative of Stanisław Staszic,
in the place of the late baroque church of Dominican
Observants, to house the Warsaw Society of the Friends of
Science. In 1892-1893 the pałace was fully reconstructed;
the new architectural decoration was related to Byzantine
architecture. The architect M. Lalewicz restored the pałace
to its Corazzian form in 1924-1926. After the pałace had
been burnt down in World War II, Piotr Biegański
reconstructed its original appearance in 1946-1950. The
pałace is situated at a focal point: it stands at the end of
Krakowskie Przedmieście Street. The ground floor was
treated as a plinth for the upper two storeys linked by the
Great order. This type of composition was widely used in
baroąue architecture. CorazzPs design was, however, fuli
