Summary
A newly interpreted architectural project, preserved in the collection of Tylman Gameren at Warsaw University, reveals the likely design of the north wing of Warsaw Castle around 1600. The study suggests that the project features corner pavilions and a grand pillar colonnade facing the collegiate church of St. John and the Old Town, challenging previous assumptions about the castle's expansion under King Sigismund Augustus. This reinterpretation is based on a critical analysis of the preserved architectural drawings, offering fresh insights into the evolution of Warsaw Castle during its early development.
