Neoclassical architecture in Poland
Palace on the Water
Neoclassical architecture in Poland was centered on
Wawrzyniec Gucewicz, Bonifacy Witkowski and Danish Bertel Thorvaldsen.[5]
The first stage, called the Stanislavian style, followed by an almost complete inhibition and a period known as the Congress Kingdom classicism.[6] The palladian patterns were independently interpreted by Szymon Bogumił Zug, who followed an influence of radical French classicism.[7] A palladian by influence was also Piotr Aigner - author of the facade of St. Anne's Church in Warsaw (1786-1788) and St. Alexander Church (1818-1826).[7] Palladian ideas were implemented in a popular type of a palace with a pillared portico.[7]
The most famous buildings of the Stanislavian period include the
Natolin and Holy Trinity Church
and gardens: Solec, Powązki, Mokotów and Arcadia near Nieborów.
From the period of the Congress Kingdom are Koniecpolski Palace and the
Bank Square in Warsaw, the edifices of the Treasury, Revenue and the Commission of Government, the building of the Staszic Palace, Mostowski Palace and designed the Grand Theatre. Belvedere and Pawłowice were created by Jakub Kubicki, while Lubostroń and Dobrzyca by Stanisław Zawadzki. The notable town halls in Łowicz, Płock, Błonie, Konin and Aleksandrów Łódzki
are dating back the first half of the nineteenth century.
