The Konstanty Zamoyski Palace (Polish: Pałac Konstantego Zamoyskiego; Pałac Zamoyskich) is a historic building on Foksal Street in Warsaw, Poland.

Konstanty Zamoyski Palace

Prior to the construction of the Zamoyski Palace, the grounds had been dedicated for a Vauxhall Gardens -style parkland. In 1870 Konstanty Zamoyski became the grounds' owner.

The palace was built to architect Leonard Marconi 's Renaissance Revival design. It comprises a main corpus and two perpendicular wings, to either side, flanking a courtyard. The driveway to Foksal Street is closed by a late- Baroque gate.

During World War II, the palace was slightly damaged. In 1949 the building complex was transferred to the Association of Polish Architects ( Stowarzyszenie Architektów Polskich ). The palace has also housed the Association of Polish Painters and Graphic Artists ( Związek Polskich Artystów Malarzy i Grafików ).
