The name “Sadyba” comes from the Officers’ Building and Residential Co-operative “Sadyba” that used to erect houses for the officer staff along fort IX of the Warsaw Fortress.

From 1926, the continuator of the commenced works was Aleksander Więckowski.

Sadyba is a housing estate with history. Before the war, the residents were mostly members of the elite of the Second Polish Republic. These were mostly high ranked generals. Józef Beck, the minister of foreign affairs of the Republic of Poland used to live in the villa at 22 Okrężna street. After the war, the minister’s villa was transformed into the multi-family municipal building. The officers’ block at 1/3/5/7 Morczyńska street used to be the place of residence of poet Stanisław Grochowiak.
