The park took its name from the already existing 17th century bath house raised for StanisÓaw herakliusz Lubomirski by Tylman of Gameran. The bath house was bought from him by King StanisÓaw August Poniatowski in 1764, who had it converted into a summer residence according to Dominik Merlin's design. In 1784, the southern elevation was remodelled, but some of its Baroque elements were preserved. During the next four years the palace was enlarged on the side of its northern elevation which, together with its monumental portico, received classicistic appearance.

Similar heterogeneity is characteristic of the palace interior decorations. Along with the works on the palace, other construction works were caried out in the park and the following buildings were raised: the White Cottage (1774-1777), Myílewicki Palace (1775-1778), Old Orangery Theatre (1786-1788), and the Thearte on the Island (1790). The ˜azienki Palace, partly destroyed by the last war ravages, is one of the most charming, little private royal residences of that time. The beautiful English park with ponds and canals adds much to the palace's delightful appearance.

A memorial to Fr¾d¾ric Chopin designed by WacÓaw Szymanowski stands in the park on the Ujazdowskie Avenue side. Free public concerts of Chopin music are given there in summer time.
