The Palace on the Isle (Polish: Pałac Na Wyspie), also known as the Baths Palace (Polish: Pałac Łazienkowski), is a classicist palace in Warsaw's Royal Baths Park, the city's largest park, occupying over 76 hectares of the city center.
From 1674 this palace and the nearby Ujazdów Castle belonged to Prince Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski, who commissioned a Baroque bath-house, or "Łazienka", named similarly to a number of other European historic sites, including England's city of Bath. The building, erected on a square plan, was richly decorated with stuccos, statues, and paintings; some of the original decorations and architectural details survive.
In 1766 King Stanisław August Poniatowski purchased the estate and converted the bathing pavilion into a classicist summer residence with an English garden.
During the final stages of World War II, the retreating Germans devastated the interior of the Palace and drilled holes in the structure in preparation for destruction with explosives. However, the plan was never carried out.
In 2019 the palace was 11th on the list of most visited palaces and monuments in the world, attracting over 4.9 million visitors.[3]
