Lancut Castle. Łancut Castle is a complex of historical buildings located in Łancut, Poland.
Historically the residence of the Pilecki, Lubomirski and Potocki families, the complex includes a number of buildings and is surrounded by a park. The castle is one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments, as designated September 1, 2005, and tracked by the National Heritage Board of Poland.
In the second half of the 14th century, the land was the property of the Toporczyk family, who built a wooden castle on the hill. In the 16th century the castle belonged to Stadnicki family.
Since the 17th century the property was in the hands of the Lubomirski family, and then the Potocki family until 1944. The castle was originally built in the second half of the 16th century, but was later modernised into a palace-residence by its owners.
It was once home to two greatest Polish families-first, until 1816, the Lubomirski family, and later-until 1944-the Potocki clan. The history of Łancut is much older than the castle erected in 1642. It goes back to the times of King Casimir III the Great, who founded here a town in accordance with the Magdeburg Rights in the 14th century. At the time Łancut was owned by the Pilecki family, who had connections with the royal Jagiellonian Dynasty.
