The largest barok residence
The Castle in Nowy Wisnicz - The largest preserved Baroque fortified residence in Poland is the castle in Nowy Wisnicz, receiving its current Renaissance-inspired facade during the reign of Piotr Kmita. The residence is composed of four two-story wings surrounding a quaint, little courtyard. The feature that allows the Castle its unparalleled allure is the four towers that proudly stand at each of the corners of the residence. Each tower has its own unique shape, rendering the appearance of a completely different stucture from every angle. Its current structure is the result of an architectural design by Stanislaw Lubomirski, who had the Castle built in the years from 1615 to 1637. Since then, the Castle has been rebuilt and has received a stone fortification that now surrounds it.
