The summer of 2022 marked 290 years since the largest artistic and military show in the history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Great Campaign of Augustus the Strong, which took place in 1732 at the foot of the Warsaw Escarpment, was an extensive logistical, engineering, construction and image undertaking. In addition to the military revue presenting the prowess and state of armaments of the Polish, Lithuanian and Saxon armies under the Wettin crown, the creation of a temporary residence for the monarch was unprecedented. On top of the shelf of the Warsaw Escarpment called a Rabbit Hill, a temporary palace and garden ensemble designed by Carl Friedrich Pöppelmann was created in a place where rabbits were bred for hunting. The small, two-storey pavilion contained both private royal apartments and an extensive feasting hall with an open gallery. The view from the gallery of the pavilion, sited 107 metres above sea level, covered not only the two manoeuvring yards reaching the banks of the Vistula River, but also the entire central section of its valley. The pavilion was preceded by an ornamental garden, the main decoration of which, apart from the English parterres, were orange trees. For the first time it is possible to gain a closer insight into the functional and artistic values of the royal encampment on Rabbit Hill. This miniature of the royal residence, unprecedented in the history of garden art and architecture in the Republic of Poland, ceased to exist as early as 1736. The fully functional palace and garden ensemble was one of the most important compositional nodes of the vast landscape complex of the royal properties of Augustus the Strong in Warsaw.
