Krasiński Library

Biblioteka Ordynacji Krasińskich

Krasiński Library (Biblioteka Krasińskich w Warszawie) was a library in Warsaw, founded by Wincenty Krasiński in 1844. Part of its building was destroyed in 1939 during the German invasion and in May 1941 its collections were moved to the Staatsbibliothek Warschau, the University Library, SGH and the National Museum. Much of these were burned by the Germans in October 1944 at the end of the Warsaw Uprising and after the war the surviving collections (the largest of which being those on the Napoleonic Wars and November Uprising) were transferred to the National Library of Poland.
