The building of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (Polish: Gmach Kancelarii Prezesa Rady Ministrów) is a building located at Ujazdów Avenue 1/3 in Warsaw, the seat of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland. It was originally built in 1900 for the purpose of the Cadet Corps[1] in the Russian partition. At the outbreak of World War I, in 1914, it was turned into a hospital and remodeled in the neo-Renaissance style by Stefan Szyller. In independent Poland, after another thorough makeover of the building in 1926, it became the seat of the Polish Infantry Cadets School. After the end of World War II, the building housed the seat of the State Council of Polish People's Republic and the Office of the Council of Ministers, which moved there from the current Presidential Palace in 1953.
