Załuski (Polish: [zaˈwus.ki]) is a neighbourhood, and a City Information System area, in Warsaw, Poland, within the Włochy district. Załuski is a mixed area, with its southern portion being dedicated to low-rise housing, while the north forms a warehouse and shopping district. In the 16th century, the village of Górki was founded in the area, being later destroyed Swedish forces in 1656, during the Second Northern War. A new village, named Załuski, was established in the area in the second half of the 17th century. It was incorporated into Warsaw in 1951.
