Wilanow Palace
Wilanow Palace was the summer residence of King Jan III. Historically speaking he is known for ending the Turkish threat to Central Europe by defeating them in 1683 in Vienna. The trip to the palace was the perfect way to spend a hot summer afternoon in Warsaw. The marble interior and stone exterior created a refuge from the heat. The palace has been 'renovated' over the years, depending on each owners preference. There was splendid architectural designs implemented within the palace, and of course you will notice it's similarity to Versaille, hence it's nickname the 'Mini Versaille'.
