Natolin is a neighbourhood, and a City Information System area, located in Warsaw, Poland, within the district of Ursynów.[1] It is a predominantly mid-rise multifamily residential area, with a smaller presence of low-rise single-family housing in the southwest.[2]

Most of its area consists of the mid-rise multifamily housing estates of Natolin and Wyżyny.[3][4][5][6] In the southwest is also located the neighbourhood of Moczydło, consisting of low-rise single-family housing.[7][2] The area also includes thr Natolin station of the M1 line of the Warsaw Metro rapid transit underground syststem.[8][9] Additionally, the neighbourhood is widely associated with the Natolin Park, that contains Potocki Palace. They are placed just outside its boundaries, within the district of Wilanów.[10]

By 1528, in the area was present a small farming community of Moczydło.[7] Between 1780 and 1783, nearby was also constructed the Potocki Palace, designed in the Neoclassical style. It became a residence of Czartoryski, and later, Potocki families.[11][12] The palace was rebuild in its current form in 1838.[13] In 1879, in Moczydło was built horse stable, and the village became specialised in breeding horses for the local upper class. In the 1930s, it became a suplier for the newly opened nearby Służewiec Horse Racing Track, and remained as such until Second World War.[14][15] The area was incorporated into Warsaw in 1951.[16] Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, in the neighbourhood were constructed the housing estates of Natolin and Wyżyny, consisting of multifamily residential buildings.[5][3] In 1995, there was opened the Natolin station of the Warsaw Metro.[8][9]
