Ostrogski Castle, also known as the Gniński Palace, Zamoyski Palace and Ordynacki Palace, is a historic residence located at 41 Tamka Street in Warsaw. Today, it serves as the seat of the Fryderyk Chopin Museum.

The palace was initially associated with Janusz Ostrogski, who began building a castle on the site at the end of the 16th century. After his death, the estate passed to the Zasławski, Denhoff and then Gniński families, who commissioned Tylman van Gameren to design the residence. Due to the high costs, the project was reduced to the construction of a single pavilion. In the following years, the palace changed owners, including the Zamoyski and Chodkiewicz families, and in the 18th century it fell into ruin, becoming a place for vagrants.

In the 19th century, the palace was rebuilt, and in 1820 it became the seat of the Warsaw Institute of Music, which moved to a new building in 1861. The palace was destroyed during World War II and rebuilt in 1953, it became the seat of the Fryderyk Chopin Institute. The reconstruction, led by Mieczysław Kuzma, restored the building to its 17th-century appearance, preserving elements of late Baroque, Rococo and Classicism. Today, the palace houses a museum and a concert hall dedicated to the life and work of Fryderyk Chopin.
