.]] The Royal Castle ( Polish ''Zamek Królewski'') in Warsaw is the royal palace and official residence of the Polish Monarchs . The personal offices of the king, as well as the administrative offices of the Royal Court of Poland were located there until the Partitions Of Poland . Between 1918 and World War II the palace was the seat of the Polish president. Partially destroyed by German bombers during the September Campaign , it was totally demolished during heavy fighting of the Warsaw Uprising . The remnants were destroyed by German engineers in late September 1944 . Reconstructed in the 1970s, it is used nowadays as a branch of the National Museum and for ceremonial purposes. During the Siege Of Warsaw in 1939 many of the works of art from the castle were transferred to several basements around Warsaw and hidden thus from German authorities they survived the war and were put on exhibition in their original place.
