Zamek w Wiśniczu, Medieval castle and museum in Stary Wiśnicz, Poland
The fortified residence features four corner towers, internal courtyard, and defensive walls situated on a forested hill above Leksandrówka River.
The castle, built by Jan Kmita in the 14th century, underwent major expansion under Sebastian Lubomirski between 1615 and 1621.
The castle holds historical importance as the birthplace of Poland's first cookbook, written by Stanisław Czerniecki, Prince Lubomirski's master chef.
Visitors can explore the castle through guided tours or audio guides, with access to bastions, underground stables, chapel, and Lubomirski family crypt.
Two surviving columns mark the landing spots of Turkish or Tatar prisoners who attempted escape using constructed wings.
