Łańcut Castle
Łańcut, Poland
An aristocratic residence of the Lubomirski and Potocki families set in a moated park, famous for its large collection of horse-drawn carriages. Parking is on the edge of the park; check opening days before you go.
Łańcut Castle (Zamek w Łańcucie) in Łańcut in Podkarpackie Voivodeship was built from 1629 to 1642 for Stanisław Lubomirski; the Stadnicki family had previously extended the older castle. Maciej Trapola produced the design, and Giovanni Battista Falconi directed the interior decoration. Built in the Baroque style, it was later altered in neo-Baroque style under the Potockis. The Lubomirskis owned it until 1816, the Potockis until 1944. Today it is a museum and, since 2005, a Historic Monument of Poland.
Its carriage collection of over 100 historic vehicles, the largest in Poland, is famous. The castle stands in a landscape park of about 31 hectares in the early English style; the inner part is surrounded by a moat. The complex also includes an orangery, a stable with coach house and an orchid house. Check the opening days on the museum's website before you go.
