Stary Służew

Stary Służew is a neighbourhood, and a City Information System area, located in Warsaw, Poland, within the district of Ursynów.

The area is dominated by single-family housing with an additional presence of multifamily housing. It includes the historical portion of the neighbourhood of Służew, including the 19th-century Krasiński Palace, Catholic St. Catherine's Church, and Fort VIII of the Warsaw Fortress. The campus of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences is also located there.

Służew dates back to at least the 13th century, when it was a small farming community. In 1238 the St. Catherine's Church was founded there (it was later rebuilt in the 19th century), with its parish becoming the oldest parish within the current boundaries of Warsaw. In 1245 the village became the property of the knight Gotard of Służew, whose descendants formed the Służewiecki family of the Radwan heraldic clan, whom owned this land until the 17th century. In 1776 the Krasiński Palace was constructed there. Służew was incorporated into Warsaw in 1938. In 1956, the campus of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences was established, which was then further expected in the 1960s, 1970s, and 2000s.
