Nowy Wiśnicz Castle, Early Baroque castle in Stary Wiśnicz, Poland.

The castle features a quadrilateral layout with four wings surrounding a central courtyard, complemented by four corner towers and defensive walls.

Built in the 14th century by Jan Kmita, the castle underwent major reconstruction between 1615 and 1621 under Stanisław Lubomirski's direction according to Maciej Trapola's plans.

The first Polish cookbook originated in this castle, written by Stanisław Czerniecki while serving as chef to Prince Aleksander Michał Lubomirski.

The castle houses the Museum of the Land of Wiśnicz, displaying local artifacts, historical photographs, and a collection dedicated to painter Jan Matejko.

The castle's acoustic room demonstrates exceptional sound properties, while the plafond hall features a gilded ceiling with intricate decorative elements.
