Wierzbno, Warsaw

Wierzbno is a neighbourhood, and an area of the City Information System, in the city of Warsaw, Poland, located within the district of Mokotów. It is a residential area, with most of its eastern area consisting of villas and tenements, and its western area, and a portion of its eastern area, consisting of multifamily residential large panel system-buildings.

Wierzbno was established as a small settlement in the 1770s, by Józef Jakubowski, a brigadier in the French Army. In the early 19th century, within the eastern portion of the current area of Wierzbno, Henryk Bonnet, a clerk and a judge, had established the settlement of Henryków, which was originally settled by French people. In 1840, nobleperson Ksawer Pusłowski had built his residence in southern Wierzbno, and a road near it, which forms current Ksawerów Street, and in 1849, he had bought the nearby Rabbit House palace, which was originally built in 1786. Overtime, the area had developed into a separate settlement, forming the modern northern portion of the neighbourhood of Ksawerów. In the 19th century Wierzbno functioned as a holiday village, and from 1840 to 1866, in the village had operated a hydrotherapy facility. In 1916, the area was incorporated into the city of Warsaw. Throughout the 1920s and the 1930s, the eastern portion of the current neighbourhood went through major development, becoming a suburban residential neighbourhood with numerous villas and tenements being built in the area. Between the 1960s and the 1970s, in the neighbourhood were built the residential neighbourhoods of Wierzbno, and Skarpa Puławska. They consisted of the multifamily residential large panel system buildings, which at the time, were the tallest, and one of the first, of their kind, to be built in Poland.

Most of the territory of the City Information System area of Wierzbno is administrated by the administrative neighbourhood of Wierzbno, which is governed by the neighbourhood council.
