An indeed a regal residence and truly one of the most beautiful castles in the whole of Poland is the Łańcut Castle, also one of the country’s national historic monuments since 2005. The building of the castle was started in the 16th century but during the 1600s it was upgraded and turned into a palatial building. Its splendid appearance and function was due to the fact that it was owned by the most powerful families in Poland – first the Lubomirski family and later on the Potocki family.
The castle features several architectural elements and features, like, classical, rococo, and neo-gothic. As expected with such an aristocratic gem, the palace is surrounded by English-style park complete with pavilions and farm buildings.
One of the most striking features about this particular palaces is its interiors. Some of the best-preserved rooms date back to the 17th century, however, none are fully-preserved from their original form. Despite that, they are of immaculate historic accuracy and thus are some of the most impressive palatial interiors in all of Poland. The Great Vestibule, Zodiac Room, and the Room under the Wooden Ceiling are the oldest in Łańcut Castle.
