Address: Stanisława Lubomirskiego , 32-720 Nowy Wiśnicz

It is one of the most valuable works of early Baroque residential and defense architecture in Poland. The oldest part of the castle was built in the fourteenth century by the Kmita family. In the 16th century, the most famous of the Kmita family, Piotr V, the Grand Marshal of the Crown at the court of Sigismund the Old, gave him features of the Renaissance style. The next reconstruction of the castle took place in the years 1615-1621 during the time of Stanisław Lubomirski, according to the plans of Maciej Trapola. Around 1700, further expansion took place. The castle, abandoned after a fire in 1831, had to wait for a comprehensive restaurant until 1949. The body of the castle, early baroque with Renaissance fragments, is built on a quadrangle plan with an internal courtyard and crowned with four towers in the corners. From the north-east side there is a chapel from 1621, and from the south-east the so-called Kmitówka, originally a detached building in the 16th century. On the second floor of the castle, by the knights' hall, there is an observation gallery. The interior design includes baroque portals, window frames, stucco decorations, polychromes. The palace is surrounded by bastion fortifications with a 5-side scratch, from the beginning of the 17th century, housing an early baroque entrance gate in the eastern curtain.
