How engineers rotated the 8,000-ton Lubomirski Palace in Warsaw's center
In spring 1970, engineers detached the Lubomirski Palace at Żelaznej Bramy square from its foundations and rotated it nearly 90 degrees — all at a mass of around 8,000 tons. The operation aimed to position the building's colonnade to frame the end of the main avenue of the Saski Garden, and to have the structure itself block the nearby Gwardia Hall. It is one of the most extraordinary engineering operations in postwar Poland.
