The Kolonia Staszica estate is a historic residential area dating back to the nineteen twenties. It was created on the former military area of Pola Mokotowskie, in the square between the roads Nowowiejska (previously called 6 Września), Wawelska, Aleja Niepodległości and Krzywickiego (previously called Sucha).

A semi-detached villa at Langiewicza Street No 19/21 was designed by architect Marian Kontkiewicz, who had designed various buildings in Warsaw, for instance the House of Wedinger at Śniadeckich Street No 23, the palace at Mokotowska Street No 62, and the villa of the first president of Poland, Gabriel Narutowicz, at Parkowa Street. Kontkiewicz was known for his passion for architecture, and is harkening back to historical forms. |

After almost 65 years of socialist management, the former Little Belvedere constitutes a ruin that needs to be rebuilt. Now, finally, this beautiful object can be restored to its original charm and importance. The villa will undergo a general renovation aimed at restoring the splendour of this unique object.
