The Myślewicki Palace (Polish: Pałac Myślewicki) is a rococo-neoclassical palace in Warsaw's Royal Baths Park. It was created for King Stanisław August Poniatowski as one of the first buildings in the Royal Baths. Its name derives from that of the nearby now nonexistent village of Myślewice.[1]
Initially, the palace was inhabited by the king's courtiers and later by Józef Antoni Poniatowski, the king's nephew.[2] The cartouche above the main entrance was decorated with his initials JP.[1]
The facade is adorned with a huge shell-bowl with sculptures by Jakub Monaldi depicting Zephyr and Flora, while the mild warping of the roof refers to the popular Chinese designs[1] Large parts of the original interior furnishings survived the last world war - including paintings by Jan Bogumił Plersch from 1778 and Antoni Gerżabka as well as stucco decorations and sculptures. Particularly valuable are the Dining Room with views of Rome and Venice and the Bathroom with a plafond by Plersch depicting Zephyr and Flora[1]
