The palace was built in the Baroque style in the years 1677-1695 for the governor of Płock Jan Dobrogost Krasiński, and its author was the architect Tylman of Gameren. Construction began in the spring of 1677 and by 1682 the main body was ready in its shell. The interior decoration was interrupted by the Northern War. In 1765 the palace was purchased by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth for the seat of the Crown Tax Commission, and then the interior decoration was finally completed. In 1766, the Krasiński Garden was made available to the public. In 1783, after a fire that consumed a large part of the interior, it was rebuilt according to the design of Dominik Merlini. In the Kingdom of Poland, sessions of the Sejm court took place here in 1827-1828. In the interwar period it was the seat of the Supreme Court. In 1944 during the uprising, he was burned. After the war, it was rebuilt to contain what was (less than 5%) of the 40,000 manuscripts of the Załuski and Rapperswil Library, the collection of the Wilanów Library, as well as other old prints and graphic collections later collected. Particularly noteworthy are the priceless illuminated Polish and foreign medieval manuscripts. There is also a thematic collection devoted to the period of the Great Emigration (1831-1883) and memorabilia of Cyprian Kamil Norway.
