Czartoryski Palace

Puławy, Poland

The Czartoryski Palace is a palace in the town of Pulawy, whose origins date back to the second half of the 17th century and are related to the history of the magnate families: the Lubomirski, Sieniawski and, above all, the Czartoryski family. 

It was first built between 1671 and 1679 by Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski to designs by the Dutch architect Tylman van Gameren. This complex included a garden. The town had passed to the Sieniawski family by 1706, when the palace and its surroundings were destroyed by Swedish troops during the Great Northern War. Reconstruction began under Elżbieta Sieniawska in 1722. Soon afterwards Maria Zofia Czartoryska married August Aleksander Czartoryski and between 1731 and 1736 they built a new Rococo palace on the site, to designs by Jan Zygmunt Deybel.

20zl each to get in and not a lot to see, really. No real effort is made to show you images of the original building, its state after destruction and an explanation about its rebuild, which would have been interesting. My main gripe may seem minor to some but is it really too much to expect for there to be a toilet available for visitors paying to visit a museum? I don't think so. Yes, this is made clear at the foot (easy to miss) of the information board outside the museum's front door but still ..... I'm assuming that all the staff working there have access to a toilet ..... but providing one for paying visitors is just too much bother, presumably. My feeling towards this museum is one of ambivalence.

This palace is an oase of peace, energy and full of history facts from the past. You can have a nice walk with your family or your loved one.

The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
