===Poland=== [[File:Warszawa Pa艂ac Prezydencki 2011.jpg|thumb|right|[[Presidential Palace, Warsaw|Presidential Palace]] in [[Warsaw]], Poland]] The former Kingdom of Poland, known as the [[Polish鈥揕ithuanian Commonwealth]], once spanned over {{cvt|1,153,465|km2}}, which allowed the nobles to construct their residences anywhere from modern-day Poland to as far as southern [[Estonia]]. The [[Szlachta|Polish aristocracy]] (szlachta) greatly favoured [[Baroque architecture|Baroque]] and [[Rococo]] architecture of the period. Most notable architect specializing in those styles was [[Netherlands|Dutch]]-born [[Tylman van Gameren]] (also Tylman Gamerski), who designed several renowned palaces, for both [[Kings of Poland|kings]] and nobles, throughout the Commonwealth. Tylman also left behind a lifelong legacy of buildings that are regarded as gems of [[Baroque in Poland|Polish Baroque architecture]]. His most famous works include [[Krasi艅ski Palace]] and [[艁azienki Palace]], both in [[Warsaw]], and [[Branicki Palace, Bia艂ystok|Branicki Palace]] in [[Bia艂ystok]]. Other palatial architects in Poland at the time were [[Chrystian Piotr Aigner]], [[Szymon Bogumi艂 Zug]], [[Domenico Merlini]] and [[Johann Christian Schuch]]. At present, Poland possesses hundreds of varied-style palaces and residences designed by architects from all over the world. Some best examples are [[Wilan贸w Palace]], [[Presidential Palace, Warsaw|Presidential Palace]], [[Abbot's Palace (Oliwa)|Oliwa Abbot's Palace]], [[Copper-Roof Palace]], [[Palace of the Ministry of Revenues and Treasury]], [[Rogalin]], [[Jab艂onowski Palace]], [[Koz艂贸wka Palace|Zamoyski Palace in Koz艂贸wka]], [[Kurozw臋ki Palace|Lanckoro艅ski Palace in Kurozw臋ki]], [[Niebor贸w Palace]] and the [[Palace in Otwock Wielki]]. There are also several palaces resembling castles or medieval Gothic residences, most notably [[Moszna Castle]], [[Ksi膮偶 Castle]] and the [[Royal Castle, Warsaw|Warsaw Royal Castle]].
