A CUTŁ ŃA CUTŁ Ń

Łańcut is situated in Podkarpackie province and lies 16 km east

of the capital - Rzeszów.

The first attested document confirming the existence of Łańcut is the papal edict from 28 of January, 1378 written by the Pope Gregory XI. The date of the town`s location according to the Magdeburg law is connected with the year 1349. According to the church tradition the year 1349 is associated with the start of the parish and the foundation of Łańcut – giving the town the municipal

rights by the king Kazimierz Wielki.

Łańcut Castle is one of the most beautiful aristocratic residences in Poland, famous for its excellent interiors and extraordinarily

interesting collection of horse-drawn carriages. The palace complex is surrounded by an old and picturesque park in the English style

filled with pavilions and farm buildings, all part of the former the daily life of the castle.

The owners of the Łańcut Castle were families Lubomirski, Czartoryski and Potocki.

The castle was built for Stanisław Lubomirski in 1629 - 1642. In the second half of the 18th century, the then current owner

of Łańcut, Izabela Lubomirska of the Czartoryski family, converted the fortress into palace-park complex.

From 1889 to 1911, the castle was renovated and reconstructed.

Now Łańcut Castle is one of the most interesting and beautiful museum in Poland.

ORTHODOX ARTORTHODOX ART Creating a collection of Orthodox Art in Łańcut was

caused by the necessity of preserving priceless elements of culture. They were prone to

destruction because of the displacing of the Ukrainian people from the south – eastern part

Poland in 1945 and 1947. Many years of conscious destruction of historic monuments of sacral art led to ruin of about 330 out of 650 orthodox churches which existed in this part

of historical diocese of Przemyśl. Objects from the orthodox churches which were

left unattended were systematically brought to the Museum in Łańcut. At present it is the largest

collection of the Ukrainian Orthodox Art in Poland.
