This was a Surgical Pavilion of the once huge Ujazdowski Hospital in Warsaw. Currently it is a branch of the Stanisław Konopka Main Medical Library. The whole hospital was founded in 1818 as a General Military Hospital, called also Ujazdowski. The hospital was situated in a large garden and was composed of a number of pavilions for administrative, maintenance, and strictly medical purposes. The most important part was a two-story building for the sick people, marked no. 6. There were large red crosses painted on the rooftops, and there were also flags of the Red Cross.
The pavilion itself was built in 1905. The hospital was open throughout the whole World War II. In August '44 personnel and injured were evacuated, and most of the bulidings were bombarded by Nazis. This pavilion is one of the two that remained to this day.
