18th century The palace, commissioned by
Jan Fryderyk Sapieha, Chancellor of the
Grand Duchy of Lithuania, was built in
Rococo style in 1731-1746 by Johann Sigmund Deybel. It was constructed as a French-style city palace, so-called
Hôtel particulier. At that time it consisted of five-axial main buildings (
corps de logis) and two outbuildings between the palace and a street. During the
November Uprising of 1830–1831 it served as the barracks for the famous
Polish 4th Infantry Regiment (
Czwartacy).
20th century Destroyed in 1944 by German occupying forces, it was rebuilt in the 1950s by Maria Zachwatowiczowa.
