The Uruski Palace, also known as the Czetwertyński Palace, is a palace located at 30 Krakowskie Przedmieście Street in Warsaw. In the place of the palace that exists today, there was a late Baroque palace built at the turn of the 1730s and 1740s, attributed to the architect Jan Zygmunt Deybel, belonging to the castellan of Kraków, Stanisław Poniatowski, the father of King Stanisław August. It was here that Stanisław August learned that he had been elected king. The palace was immortalized by Canaletto in a painting depicting Krakowskie Przedmieście from the side of Nowy Świat. The palace changed owners several times until in 1843 it became the property of Seweryn Uruski, the marshal of the nobility of the Warsaw governorate, a secret councilor, and a steward of the imperial court. He wanted to build a new palace on the site of the previous one, so he ordered the old one to be demolished. He commissioned the design from the architect Andrzej Gołoński, who gave the new building Renaissance features. The works lasted from 1844 to 1847. The two-story main body is distinguished by two extreme projections one storey higher. Above the central part of the front elevation there is a large cartouche with the coat of arms of the founder Sas, carved by Ludwik Kaufman. The cartouche is supported by a bull and a horse, and below it there is an inscription: AGES. In the left projection of the elevation before World War II there was a driveway gate leading to the courtyard surrounded by outbuildings. The front elevation of the palace, regular and symmetrical, contrasts with the southern elevation overlooking the street leading to the courtyard of the Kazimierzowski Palace, picturesque and irregular. The tower, which in the 17th century served as a water tower for the local waterworks of Tytus Liwiusz Boratini, is a height accent. After the death of Seweryn Uruski in 1890, the palace first became the property of his wife, and then of his daughter Maria, married to Prince Włodzimierz Światopełk-Czetwertyński. In the years 1893–1895, the palace was renovated under the supervision of Józef Huss, who built a new northern annex, turning east on the site of the old, ruined one. The ground floor of the new annex housed coach houses, and the upper floors housed apartments for rent. The palace was burned down during the Warsaw Uprising. After the war, the destruction of the building was estimated at about 50%.
