Weather…

Nieborów Palace is one of Poland's finest examples of Baroque residential architecture, built between 1694 and 1696 for Primate Michał Stefan Radziejowski. Designed by the renowned architect Tylman van Gameren, the palace exemplifies symmetrical elegance. In 1774, it was acquired by the Radziwiłł family, who remained its owners until 1945 and developed it into a major cultural hub. The palace is celebrated for its well-preserved interiors, which house a library of over 10,000 volumes and an exceptional collection of ancient sculptures. It is set within a magnificent formal French-style Baroque garden, featuring geometric hedges and long vistas. The estate also includes a historic majolica manufactory founded in the 19th century, which continues to produce traditional ceramics. Today, the palace serves as a branch of the National Museum in Warsaw, allowing visitors to explore the opulent lifestyle of the Polish aristocracy. Its scenic setting has made it a popular location for numerous Polish film productions.
