The inn complex is situated at the outlet of a motor-way to Katowice on southern rims of Warsaw. This historic structure was designed by Szymon В. Zug in ca 1784. In 1809 it witnessed the battle of Raszyn, the tradition of which was very vivid in the 19th century. The complex of buildings comprises a post-office, coach house, stables, smithy, folder warehouse and an inn with a ballroom in the first floor. Subsequent changes of users have brough about „illegibility” of the structure, of both its blocks and elevations. At present, it houses council flats, shops, craftsmen's workshops and telephone exchange. The buildings are in a very bad technical condition. There are no elementary sanitary installations. The smithy went to ruin and does not practically exist. The Raszyn population wants to repair the complex and to earmark it for social purposes, as sort of a commune's cultural centre. A utilization programme for individual buildings is the following: a — in the inn — a wedding palace and restaurant (with all facilities) b — in the post-office — a post-office and a museum hall с — in former stables — a commune library and a reading room d — on the remains of the smithy and fodder warehouse — construction (according to the plan) of a centre of culture, workshops for teenagers and a conference room. This would be the only building put up, while all the other buildings would be adapted to their relevant functions. The inside court-yard, with flower beds and benches, is to function as a place for rest. A triangular square between the church and buildings will serve as the place for the monument of Colonel Godebski, a well-known historic person, killed in 1809 in the battle of Raszyn. The plan envisages for the maintaining of all preserved details of original architecture and the restoration of remaining elements according to the description and architectonic studies being just carried out. The only new building will be a one-storeyed pavillion, whose shape and architectonic details would not disagree with historical surroundings. The designers plan to combine the complex with open landscape and especially with ponds in the south. Hence, the concept to make large glazings in the planned pavillion and to leave a thoughfare with a span in the centre of the buildings for users and the public. It is also planned to put up a terrace with an extensive view over the ponds. The above conceptual design has been stopped due to the lack of funds.
