- Łańcut Castle is one of the most beautiful and best preserved aristocratic residences in Poland. Surrounded by an old and picturesque landscape park, it creates, together with the pavilions and outbuildings, an exceptional historical complex of particular significance for Polish culture. The castle was built in about 1631 according to a project by the Italian-born architect Matteo Trapoli. Subsequent redesigning projects involved, i. a. Krzysztof Mieroszewski, who specialised in fortifications and defensive works, and later also Tylman of Gameren. The 1780s brought further essential redesign ventures which produced interiors featuring the then fashionable Oriental – Turkish and Chinese – motifs. The present-day layout and decor of many of the rooms reflect those schemes. Such acclaimed and talented eighteenth-century architects as Vincento Brenna, Szymon Bogumił Zug, Jan Chrystian Kamsetzer, and Chrystian Piotr Aigner worked in Łańcut, where their projects were employed for erecting , i. a. the Theatre, the Glorietta, the Orangery and the Romantic Castle. The owners of Łańcut Castle systematically modernised their residence, attaching considerable attention to ensuring comfortable and outright luxurious living conditions. At the turn of the nineteenth century their undertakings rendered this sophisticated object one of the most modern family seats in Europe. The modernisation of the castle was accompanied by plans concerning the park which was doubled; new gardens: Italian and Rose, were added. A sprawling landscape park was laid out beyond the moat. The Stable and the Carriage House were built to the south of the park. In 1925 the object was added to the state list of historical monuments. The necessary repairs conducted during the postwar period included replacing the vaults and the roof over the whole castle building, the Orangery, the Carriage House, the Menage and the Romantic Castle. The castle interiors were also conserved. The Atelier for the Collection Conservation, established in 1960, has been busy up to this day and is responsible for preventive conservation as well as more extensive realisations relating to the castle. Conservation was conducted in almost all the castle interiors, with each passing year bringing numerous initiatives. The Voivodeship Storehouse of Movable Historical Monuments was opened at the museum in 1961 for the purpose of protecting the outfitting of Eastern rite churches abandoned after 1947, a total of 7 500 historical exhibits. In time, the storehouse was transformed into a Department of Orthodox Church Art, at present the largest contemporary collection of its sort in Poland. The museum objects include the Łańcut synagogue, one of the most magnificent in the country. Built in 1761, it was a typical example of the Oriental variant. Brick and situated on the plan of a square with an architectural bima in the middle, the synagogue displays exceptionally lavish decoration, the oldest going back to the eighteenth century. After conservation, the object was opened to the public. The natural charm of the Łańcut historical complex is accentuated by its park and gardens, recreated as faithfully as possible upon the basis of preserved documents and prewar photographs. Postwar conservation of the Museum-Castle in Łańcut has involved numerous specialists representing assorted domains of science, conservators of works of art, art historians, and members of the technical staff who have contributed to highly effective achievements and discoveries. A total of thirty horsedrawn vehicles, including coupé, landauer, mylord, break, victoria and jagdwagen carriages, sleighs and chaises, many featuring unique historical merits, has been conserved. Work on the only marble statue in Poland by Antonio Canova – a likeness of the young Henryk Lubomirski – was conducted by applying a noninvasive cleaning method using laser beams. The conservation of eighteenth-century interiors was based on the chinolin technique originally used for creating them. For many years the museum conservators and renovators have carried out a task decisive for the survival of a plethora of works of art – paintings, sculptures, icons, old books or artifacts. The outcome of their cooperation has assumed the form of the present-day state of the historical palacepark complex, enabling Łańcut to become not only an extremely valuable research centre and the site of numerous important cultural and scientific events, but predominantly a tourist attraction on a truly worldwide scale.
