Wierzbno, Warsaw
Wierzbno is a neighbourhood, and an area of the City Information System, in the city of Warsaw, Poland, located within the district of Mokotów. It is a residential area, with most of its eastern area consisting of villas and tenements, and its western area, and a portion of its eastern area, consisting of multifamily residential large panel system-buildings.
Wierzbno was established as a small settlement in the 1770s, by Józef Jakubowski, a brigadier in the French Army. In the early 19th century, within the eastern portion of the current area of Wierzbno, Henryk Bonnet, a clerk and a judge, had established the settlement of Henryków, which was originally settled by French people. In 1840, nobleperson Ksawer Pusłowski had built his residence in southern Wierzbno, and a road near it, which forms current Ksawerów Street, and in 1849, he had bought the nearby Rabbit House palace, which was originally built in 1786. Over time, the area had developed into a separate settlement, forming the modern northern portion of the neighbourhood of Ksawerów. In the 19th century Wierzbno functioned as a holiday village, and from 1840 to 1866, in the village had operated a hydrotherapy facility. In 1916, the area was incorporated into the city of Warsaw. Throughout the 1920s and the 1930s, the eastern portion of the current neighbourhood went through major development, becoming a suburban residential neighbourhood with numerous villas and tenements being built in the area. Between the 1960s and the 1970s, in the neighbourhood were built the residential neighbourhoods of Wierzbno, and Skarpa Puławska. They consisted of the multifamily residential large panel system buildings, which at the time, were the tallest, and one of the first, of their kind, to be built in Poland.
Most of the territory of the City Information System area of Wierzbno is administrated by the administrative neighbourhood of Wierzbno, which is governed by the neighbourhood council.
The name of Wierzbno comes from Polish word wierzba, which means willow. Its founder, Józef Jakubowski, had originally named it in 18th century Pod Wierzbą, which means under the willow, most likely referring to willow trees present in the area.
In the 1770s, a land was given by king Stanisław August Poniatowski, monarch of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, to Józef Jakubowski, a brigadier in the French Army, who then established there a small agricultural estate, with a hamlet called Pod Wierzbą, later renamed to Wierzbno. It comes from Polish, meaning under a willow tree.
In 1786, the Rabbit House, a neoclassical palace residence, was built to the south of Wierzbno, for Carlo Alessandro Tomatis, husband of Caterina Gattai Tomatis.
In 1794, during the Kościuszko Uprising, it served as the residence of Tadeusz Kościuszko, the leader of the insurgent forces. In 1816, Tomatis sold it to the Radziwiłł family. It is now located within the City Information System area of Ksawerów.
At the beginning of the 19th century, Henryk Bonnet, a French-born clerk who served as the State Councillor and a judge in the district court of Warsaw, bought an area around current Malczewskiego Street, founding a hamlet of Henryków. It was originally settled by French people, and included a small palace residence of the Bonnet family. In 1824, Louisa Bonnet de Belon (1802–1876), Henryk Bonnet's daughter, married George Fanshawe (1789–1867; also known as Jerzy Fanshave), English-born chamberlain and colonel in the Imperial Russian Army. The couple inherited the property around 1830, and around 1850, they built the Fanshawe Palace, in place of their former residence. In 1900, the palace was inherited by nobleman August Potocki, who, while never living there himself, had accommodated there the less wealthy members of his family.
