The castle in Łańcut is one of the most beautiful aristocratic residences in Poland. It is famous for its exquisite residential interiors and an extremely interesting collection of horse-drawn vehicles. The palace complex is surrounded by an old, picturesque English-style park, with numerous pavilions and outbuildings, once closely associated with the daily life of the Łańcut residence. The castle's interiors are among the most beautiful in Poland. Among the oldest fortunately preserved are: The Great Vestibule, the Hall under the Ceiling and the Hall under the Zodiac. They date back to the 1740s, but, unfortunately, none have survived to our time unchanged..
From the second half of the 1880s come several interiors designed by Szymon Bogumił Zug: the Turkish Suite, the Columned Room, and shared with Jan Christian Kamsetzer: the Duchess Marshaless's Bedroom, the Boucher Salon. From this time are also: Rococo Salon and Sculpture Gallery.
The most representative chambers were built around 1800 on the first floor of the west wing according to designs by Chrystian Peter Aigner. These include the classicist Ballroom and the Grand Dining Room.
A number of interesting interiors were arranged in the late 19th/early 20th century, most of which have survived to the present day in almost unchanged form. Among the most interesting are the Library, the Corner Salon, the Dining Room above the Gate and numerous bath rooms.
The interiors contain numerous works of art from old Łańcut collections and post-war purchases and deposits from other museums. The oldest artifacts are part of a collection still being formed by Princess Marshall Lubomirska and found in Łańcut in the 2nd half of the 18th century. They constituted interior furnishings serving both utilitarian and decorative purposes. Some of the most valuable objects from this collection today can be seen in the Gallery of Ancient Art of the National Museum in Warsaw.
Successive owners from the Potocki family multiplied the collection with new acquisitions. Today we can see in Lancut rich and diverse collections of paintings and graphics, furniture, musical instruments, silverware, porcelain, glass, lacquer, textiles and a wonderful book collection.
Stables and Carriage House
The two impressive buildings of the castle's neo-Baroque Stables and the modernistic with classical elements Carriage House, although they form a separate hippy complex, are part of the Łańcut Potocki residence. They were erected at the turn of the 19th century according to the design of French architect Amanda Bauque and surrounded by a specially established "horseriding park." The furnishings for the stables, scrub and saddle room were ordered from the Viennese firm of R.Ph.Waagner.
The stables have a preserved original section for riding horses, as well as a Gala Scrub Room and Hall, where horse vehicles belonging to the Museum's Vehicle Collection are set up. In fact, the Museum in Lancut has two separate collections of horse-drawn vehicles: a historical one related to the Potocki family's residence with 55 vehicles, and a museum collection, gathered after World War II and still open today with nearly 80 vehicles.
The Łańcut Carriage House has a huge, glass-roofed Harnessing Hall, two on its sides, the Yellow and Black Carriage Houses, and the Scrub Shop, located on the axis. The walls of the Hall are decorated, with a collection of exotic trophies brought back in 1924 from the safari of the year by the last owner, as well as several European trophies. Vehicles from the Museum's Collection also stand here. On display in the scrub are the hamster and scrub harnesses of the trip, manufactured in Paris by the Hermes and Duprey companies and in Vienna at Schleuchter and Nideltz.
The most valuable movables collected in the Castle Carriage House is a priceless collection of horse-drawn vehicles inherited from the Potocki family. These vehicles are luxurious, of various types and varied purpose, coming from the most renowned Viennese, London and Parisian companies such as Marius, Lohner, Labourdette and Rotchild, among others. They stand in two carriage houses, separately the representative vehicles, separately the vehicles used in the estate, in the same places as under the owners. Although not repaired but only undergoing conservative maintenance, and despite being more than a century old, they are preserved in excellent and original condition. This is the only such magnate's carriage house in the world where, next to the historic main residence turned into a museum, there is a hippy complex with a carriage house, in addition to such an opulent one, which houses the vehicles used in the residence.
