The Czapski Palace (Polish: Pałac Czapskich, IPA: [ˈpawat͡s ˈt͡ʂapskʲix], formerly also known as the Krasiński, Sieniawski or Raczyński Palace) is a palatial complex in the center of Warsaw, located at 5 Krakowskie Przedmieście. It is considered one of the most distinguished examples of rococo architecture in Poland's capital.
The building, just across the street from the University of Warsaw, has been home to famous persons including artist Zygmunt Vogel, composer Frédéric Chopin, and poets Zygmunt Krasiński and Cyprian Norwid.
The palace now houses the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts.[2]
