Tyszkiewicz Palace (Polish: Pałac Tyszkiewiczów) or Tyszkiewicz - Potocki Palace is a palace at 32 Krakowskie Przedmieście Street in Warsaw, Poland. One of the most beautiful neoclassical residences in Warsaw. The palace was sponsored by Field Hetman of Lithuania, Ludwik Tyszkiewicz. The construction begun in 1785 initially following plans by Stanisław Zawadzki and finished in 1792 in Neoclassical style to Jan Chrystian Kamsetzer's design. In 1840 the palace was bought by the Potocki family. In the interwar period it was the site of Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, and later, of Polish Academy of Literature. Burned in 1944, it was rebuilt, and is now shared by the Academy of Literature and University of Warsaw. The relatively modest façade of the palace is decorated with some fine stuccowork, and the central balcony is supported by four elegant stone Atlantes carved in 1787 by André Le Brun.
