Royal Castle’s Throne Room reopens after 50-year restoration, showcasing historic grandeur and honoring dedicated staff.
Honoring Distinguished Castle Employees
The 50th anniversary of the Royal Castle in Warsaw’s reconstruction was marked by honoring 28 exceptional employees. Awards were presented by Minister of Culture and National Heritage, Hanna Wróblewska, celebrating their commitment to preserving Poland’s cultural legacy.
The Throne Room’s Restoration
A highlight of the celebrations was the reopening of the Throne Room, now resplendent after years of detailed restoration. Originally designed by King Stanisław August in the 18th century, it once again displays the elegant opulence of Polish royal decor.
Symbolic Embroidery and Historic Preservation
The room’s restored centerpiece, a dark crimson throne with embroidered silver eagles—symbols of Polish sovereignty—was crafted in 1786. After being scattered and lost through turbulent history, these symbols have been meticulously recreated and returned to their rightful place.
Free Weekend Visits in November
On November 9-10, visitors can enjoy free entry to the Royal Route, including the Throne Room with its fully restored decor, as part of “Free November in Royal Residences.”
