Wilanów Palace

The great attraction of the Royal Tract, as well as of the whole capital, is a palace- park complex in Wilanów. The palace, surrounding park and other premises have survived bad fortunes of wars and foreign occupation of Poland. They remained intact and retained their genuine historical and artistic merits to become one of the most cherished parts of the Polish cultural heritage.

The 17th- century Wilanów was build in the Baroque style as a royal residence of King Jan III Sobieski.

The Palace is surrounded by splendid gardens which have matured and been restyled over several centuries. They give visitors an opportunity to appreciate many different forms of horticulture, and to compare them in one location. The Baroque garden in the French - Italian style is situated centrally. The English - Chinese Romantic garden covers the area to the south of the Palace and the English park is in the north. A pathway runs between a small lake and perfectly ranked trees. Sculptures, monuments, garden pavilions, neatly laid out flowerbeds and walkways make it an idyllic and peaceful place for all visitors.

In summer, classical music concerts are held in the park.
