Copper Roof Palace of Warsaw

The Copper-Roof Palace (Palac pod Blacha) in the city of Warsaw (Warszawa), Poland (Polska). It's one of my favorite sights in Warsaw, but difficult to photograph. It was named for its unusual copper roof — a rarity for the time when the palace was built. The palace originally (1651-1657) belonged to Wawrzyniec Reffus, and was completely remodeled in 1698-1701 for Jerzy Dominik Lubomirski. The palace since 1989 is a branch of the Royal Castle Museum. The Copper-Roof Palace was burned in 1944 and reconstructed, based on paintings of Bernardo Bellotto, between 1948-1949. Currently the palace is a museum, a part of Royal Castle.
