Gołuchów Castle, Renaissance castle in Gołuchów, Poland

The five-towered brick castle features a square layout with three octagonal towers, one hexagonal tower, and one quadrilateral tower surrounding a central courtyard with arcaded cloisters.

Built between 1550 and 1560 for Rafał Leszczyński, the castle underwent major reconstruction from 1872 to 1885 under Princess Izabela Czartoryska following French Renaissance designs.

The castle houses collections of fine art, including the Ancient Vases Room, Antiquities Room, Old Polish Portrait Hall, and Royal Hall displaying European decorative pieces.

The National Museum in Poznań manages the castle, which stands within a 158-hectare park containing 600 species of trees and shrubs in Greater Poland Voivodeship.

Eleven ornate door and window portals with columns and lintels adorn the courtyard, while the interior maintains decorative elements featuring the Leszczyński family bull's head emblem.
