The Myślewicki Palace

The Royal Łazienki Museum in Warsaw

The Royal Łazienki Museum in Warsaw
Warsaw, Poland

This splendid palace with its characteristic semi-circular form was originally conceived as the King’s primary residence.

With time, however, it began to take on a more official and representative function. Matters of state were discussed in its elegant interiors, and over the centuries the apartments were used to accommodate tsarist generals, members of the Polish government, as well as foreign guests of Polish rulers. Not only were national issues discussed within these walls. Diplomatic relations between two of the world’s super powers: China and the United States of America, were established within the Palace’s walls.

In the years 1958–70 the Myślewicki Palace was the venue for a series of meetings between the Republic of China and the United States of America. At that time the talks held at the Palace were the main form of dialogue between the two countries and helped to forge mutual trust and maintain peace.
