The Belweder is a neoclassical palace in Warsaw set at the edge of the Łazienki park landscape, long associated with the Polish head of state. Rebuilt in the early nineteenth century with a white columned portico, it served as a residence for rulers, presidents, and marshals over the decades. It remains an official residence used for ceremonial functions and state visits. Its elegant facade faces a broad lawn along the royal route, and while the interior is reserved for official use, the surrounding parkland is a beloved public space.
