History
The Ksawerów Manor House was designed by architect Wojciech Bobiński, and built in 1840, as a residence for nobleperson Ksawer Pusłowski. A road, now known as Ksawerów Street, was also built next to it. The manor house was built in the southern portion in the village of Wierzbno, which is a now part of Warsaw. Eventually, the area has developed into its own settlement, known as Ksawerów.[1][2][3] Later, the building was further expanded with an extension in the back.[2]
During the Second World War, the building was damaged in 1939 and destroyed in 1944, and reconstructed in 1945.[2] The building was renovated in 2016.[3][4] Currently, it houses the headquarters of the Department of Heritage Protection of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.[5]
