Przy Bażantarni Street (Polish: Ulica Przy Bażantarni) is a street in the Ursynów district of Warsaw, Poland.
History
The name of the street comes from pheasantry (Polish: bażanciarnia), which is a non-existent object, and was established during the reign of King John III Sobieski. It was supposed to make hunting more attractive (together with the zoo).
In the years 1780–1782, August Czartoryski built a classicist palace in the place of the Pheasantry, designed by Szymon Bogumił Zug. The palace was rebuilt many times, and in the 19th century the name was changed from Bażantarnia to Natolin to commemorate Natalia Potocka.[1]
