rezydencji

Rezydencja is a Polish term meaning a residence, especially a large or prestigious dwelling. In everyday use it denotes a private house or estate owned by an individual, family, or institution. In diplomatic and state contexts, the term refers to the official residence of a head of state, government, or foreign mission—often called a diplomatic residence or mission house. The phrase "rezydencja" is commonly used for the formal home of high-ranking officials, such as a president, prime minister, ambassador, or high commissioner, and is sometimes distinguished from an office by designating the place as a residence rather than a workplace.

Such properties are frequently historic or architecturally significant, featuring large grounds, security provisions, and controlled access. They may be located in capital cities or important regional centers and can serve ceremonial functions, such as receptions or official events, in addition to private living quarters.

The word originates from the French "résidence," through Polish usage; it encompasses both private and official meanings.

Common Polish phrases include "rezydencja dyplomatyczna" (diplomatic residence) and "rezydencja prezydenta" (presidential residence).
