A 17th-century Late Renaissance castle, built by the Leszczyński family. It is often referred to as "Little Wawel."

Erected between 1591 and 1606 according to a design by Santi Gucci, it is one of the best-preserved Renaissance residences in Europe. The three-story structure, featuring four corner towers, an imposing courtyard, and elegant arcades, draws inspiration from Wawel Castle in Kraków, making it an exceptional example of magnate architecture.


The castle interiors house valuable architectural decorations, including a chapel with polychromy and stained glass, as well as representative chambers connected by the Tylman Gallery. The courtyard, situated above ground level, was designed to protect the residence from the frequent flooding of the Vistula River.


The castle is surrounded by an extensive 16-hectare park with English, Italian, and French-style gardens.
