Tylman van Gameren, also Tilman or Tielman and Tylman Gamerski,[1] (Utrecht, 3 July 1632 – c. 1706, Warsaw)[2] was a Dutch-born Polish[3][4] architect and engineer who, at the age of 28, settled in Poland and worked for Queen Marie Casimire, wife of Poland's King John III Sobieski. Tylman left behind a lifelong legacy of buildings that are regarded as gems of Polish Baroque architecture.[4]
