Kazimierzowski Palace

Kazimierzowski Palace is located on the campus of the University of Warsaw. Picturesquely located on the edge of the Vistula embankment, the building initially served as a royal villa in the suburbs. The kings John II Casimir and John III Sobieski with his wife Marie Casimire resided there as well as kings from the Saxon dynasty. However, King Stanisław Augustus Poniatowski transformed the property into a university for young nobles and gave it the name of the Knights School. In the years 1817-1831, the building was home to the Warsaw Lyceum, which Fryderyk Chopin attended.
