A beautiful house in Saska Kępa

I always come back to Saska Kępa with pleasure. It is one of the most pleasant districts of Warsaw, with low-rise housing, numerous pubs, gardens and service points, which are eagerly used by local residents and guests from other districts of Warsaw. There are many common greens here: Skaryszewski Park or allotment gardens; it is also close to the walking areas on the Vistula. And although Saska Kępa is located on the other, inferior – as some say – bank of Warsaw, it is considered one of the best parts of the capital to live.

The real estates located in Saska Kępa are very popular – the district is calm, quiet, located in the vicinity of the center of Warsaw and perfectly connected. That is why such gems as the house that I will show you today are very rare. If you would like to see other properties in this area, be sure to check out Crystal House.

The history of Saska Kępa in a nutshell

I wrote about Saska Kępa some time ago, nevertheless I would still remind you of a feature The name of Saska Kępa combines two important information about the history of this place. Kępa (Polish for islet) – because until a few hundred years ago this part of Warsaw was most likely an uninhabited island on the river. And Saska (Polish for Saxon), because in the 18th century the whole area was leased by King August III of Saxony.

Historical sources indicate that the purpose of the clump has changed. Initially, the inhabitants of Warsaw used Saska Kępa as a place to obtain raw materials such as wood or wicker. In the 16th century, Dutch, Flemish and Frisian settlers appeared on its territory, but the regularly flooding river was not conducive to permanent residence. In the following years, the island passed from hand to hand: troops were stationed here during the Polish-Swedish war, vegetables were grown here and animals were raised. Stabilization appeared only with the royal lease.

The nineteenth century was a period of rapid development for Saska Kępa. But really interesting things started to happen only after Poland regained independence. The reconstructed Poniatowski Bridge connected Saska Kępa with Śródmieście with a clamp, and new villas began to appear in this area as if it had been raining. The district gained prestige.

Due to the proximity of Śródmieście, the authorities of Warsaw – which were preparing to organize the so-called world exhibition – decided that the exhibition grounds will be built here. These plans are reflected by street names referring to the names of countries and cities, as well as the exhibition channel connecting Lake Kamionkowskie with Lake Gocławskie. However, these plans were thwarted by the war.

After 1945, Saska Kępa was a problem for socialist town planners. In order to change its residential – and therefore non-socialist – character a little, the addition of multi-family apartment blocks were built wherever possible.

Today, Saska Kępa, despite its direct vicinity to the center of Warsaw, is a different world. Life here is slower, and the people who live here enjoy the peace and quiet (narrow streets are conducive to limiting vehicle traffic).
