Ujazdów Castle, Warsaw, Masovian Voivodeship, Poland
The first castle was erected on the spot by the Dukes of Masovia as early as in 13th century. In 1624, the stone castle was raised by King Sigismund III Vasa. Since 1683, it belonged to Great Crown Marshal Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski. The gardens surrounding the castle, later divided onto two separate parks, were refurbished. About that time the Łazienki's Eremity and Łazienki Palace were built. The main axis of the castle's eastern façade was also underlined by the construction of a decorative royal canal built under the Vistula river embankment, on which the castle stood. In 1764, it became the property of Stanisław August Poniatowski who remodeled it, and in 1784, donated to the Polish Army. The castle successively housed the barracks, a military hospital and a military medical school. The castle was burnt out and damaged by the Germans following the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. Rebuilt since 1975. It houses Warsaw's Center for Contemporary Art since 1981. (source: Wikipedia)
