Castle was blown up in 1944 during the Warsaw Uprising. After the war they were not
renovated and continued to serve as a warehouse for the army and back rooms for the Royal
Castle, on which rebuilding work was begun in 1971. Now after restoration it is one of the
most interesting venues in the city.
