Talk:The Saxon Palace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Surely an austere Neoclassical structure on the picture cannot date back to the turn of the 18th century, let alone to the earlier periods? Can anybody check when the palace was constructed? --Ghirlandajo 20:09, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
The palace itself was built between 1713 and 1745, though it was based on an earlier structure of the Morsztyn family manor. Then the palace underwent several successive reconstructions, further changing its' facade. And the columns in the centre were not added until 19th century. Halibutt 23:18, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks. I believe it would be helpful to mention the details in the text. --Ghirlandajo 23:20, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

- It's been on my to do list for ages now, but I still don't have enough free time or forget it when I do. BTW, take a look here to know how did it look like before the columns were added (it shows the other facade than the pic on the right; from the side of the Saxon Garden and not the square).

- Yes, the reconstruction definitely spoiled a nice baroque palace. As an aside, I can;t stand rigourous Neoclassicism, be it Polish or Russian or French (it is the same everywhere, actually). That's one reason why I tend to dislike St Pete.--Ghirlandajo 23:27, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Move to "Saxon Palace"?
I suggest moving this article, "Pałac Saski," to "Saxon Palace." It would save a needless redirect; and there is no other Wikipedia article with the title, "Saxon Palace." logologist|Talk 06:47, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Remains of palace
I suggest adding the picture of the Saxon Palace after II WW (for example http://www.daktik.rubikon.pl/images/Grob_nieznanego_zolnierza.JPG ).
