Raczynski Palace
This palace occupied the seat of the German judiciary agencies in occupied Poland between 1939 and 1944. During the Warsaw uprising the building was used as field hospital by the insurgents. On 1 September 1944 (the day that the Old Town capitulated) the Germans discovered 430 wounded insurgents within the palace. All were shot on spot.
Today a plaque, attached on the outer wall of the Raczynski palace, commemorates this horrible incident.
