So, of the three Imperial residences in Poland, that Greg refers to in Court Of The Last Tsar, only one still exists today (the other two having been torched by the Nazis in World War II)?

That1s true. Only the residence in Skierniewice has been preserved. As for Spala and Belovezh, other building e.g. the former hotel, Alexander III1s stone, stables etc. are still there.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't really sure what was left in Poland. Greg's book mentions them, but not what ultimately happened to them.
