Ujazdów Castle rents five spaces for conferences, seminars, workshops, promotional meetings, banquets and concerts, from a 74-seat cinema to an arcaded courtyard and a park. The castle houses the Centre for Contemporary Art and stands at Jazdów 2 in Warsaw, Poland. Rentals are for professional and cultural events, not for weddings.
Seminars and company events
The Cinema Hall is the most precisely described room. It is a studio cinema with 74 fixed tiered seats, and up to 15 additional chairs can be added, which makes about 89 places for a presentation, a product film or a plenary session. It has a screen, a projector and professional lighting and sound. The foyer in front of it can be used for buffet-style catering during breaks.
The Educational Hall is a multipurpose room on the ground floor. It is entered from the courtyard under the southern arcades and has a second exit directly to the outside on the south wall. The site presents it for exhibitions, conferences and workshops. The Krukowski Hall, in the Laboratorium building, is described as one of the best concert halls in Warsaw and has high-quality audiovisual equipment. It is offered for concerts, performances, conferences and lectures.
Weddings and receptions
The rental offer does not mention weddings. It does present the Courtyard for banquets, conferences and promotional meetings, and the park in front of the castle for concerts, festivals, fairs and outdoor press conferences. A company that wants a dinner or a cultural evening in a castle courtyard in the center of the capital can use these spaces.
Rooms and capacities
Only the Cinema Hall has a stated capacity: 74 fixed seats plus up to 15 chairs. The Educational Hall, the Krukowski Hall, the Courtyard and the park have no published figures or areas, so the numbers for those spaces have to be confirmed with the castle before a layout is chosen.
Catering
The rental page mentions buffet-style catering only for the foyer of the Cinema Hall. For the other spaces, it does not say whether catering is provided or whether an outside caterer may be used.
History and setting
The site describes the building as a former summer residence of Polish kings. The castle was largely destroyed in the Second World War and rebuilt in the 20th century, and since the 1980s it has been the seat of the Centre for Contemporary Art, which runs exhibitions, a cinema and a concert program. Visitors to your event therefore arrive in a working arts institution, which suits a conference on culture, design, media or creative industries. The castle stands next to Jazdów Park and a short walk from the Łazienki Park and the government district.
Getting there
The castle is in the center of Warsaw, on the edge of the Ujazdów district, and is reachable by city bus and tram and by taxi from the main railway station. There is no accommodation in the castle, so delegates stay in the hotels of the center.
