Palacio del Museo en Wilanów

Museum Palace at Wilanów (Street St. Kostki Potockiego 10/16, Warsaw) – this palace was built for one of Poland’s best-regarded monarchs: King Jan III Sobieski. The Wilanów Palace has a combination of a traditional Polish court with an Italian rural villa and a French chateau. The palace’s interior, with their original design and decadent furniture, shows three distinct style periods. The oldest, Baroque royal apartments, are found at the main building, while the south wing shows an 18th century style, and the north wing was decorated by the Potocki family in 19th century style. The first floor shows the Polish Portrait Gallery of Works from the 16th to the 19th centuries — with paintings of kings, local aristocratic families, distinguished Poles and cultural figures.
