Stanisław Żaryn

Stanisław Żaryn (5 October 1913 – 15 July 1964) was an architect, urbanist, historian and academic teacher who significantly contributed to the process of the reconstruction of historical Polish architecture after its destruction by the Germans during WWII. He was born in Warsaw to Eugenia and Franciszek Zaryn.

Married to Aleksandra (née Jankowska), the couple had five children: Maria (architect, designer), Anna (physician), Szczepan (journalist), Joanna (teacher) and Jan (professor of history, elected member of the Polish Senate). He died, aged 50, in Inowrocław while leading summer fieldwork research on historical buildings with his Warsaw Polytechnic students.

Stanisław Żaryn should not be confused with his grandson, also Stanisław Żaryn, spokesman for the Minister-Coordinator of Special Services National Security Department of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland.
