    The castle, which was destroyed in the Second World War, was rebuilt between 1971 and 1988 and, along with Warsaw's Old Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

      The Royal Castle in Warsaw is a Baroque-Classicist residence at Castle Square, serving as a museum and representative functions. It was built in the 14th century as the seat of the Dukes of Mazovia, and from the 16th century it was the centre of royal power and the Sejm of the First Polish Republic. Many times plundered and destroyed, in the 19th century it served the Russian administration, and in the years 1926-1939 it was the residence of the President of the Republic of Poland. Burnt down by the Germans in 1939 and completely destroyed in 1944, it was rebuilt in the years 1971-1984. Since 1979 it has been functioning as a museum, and in 1980 it was added to the UNESCO list.

        Located in the Old Town in the Śródmieście district on Castle Square, the roots of the building go back to a fortified wooden building with a defensive tower of the Dukes of Mazovia from the 13th/14th century. Century back, with the castle hill having been permanently inhabited for over 8,000 years. Two larger Gothic-style buildings (Dwór Wielki, Dwór Mniejszy) were built in the 15th century. Of these components, Gothic walls have been preserved on the south wing of the inner courtyard, which were reconstructed during the reconstruction from the 1960s. The castle gardens between the castle and the Vistula were created around 1400 and changed in the Renaissance style in the 16th century.
