Łańcut | Cities & Towns

Łańcut is a quaint, picturesque town, which was granted rights by Casimir the Great back in 1349 and given to Otto Pilecki as a reward for his service to the king. The town was then owned consecutively by the Polish aristocratic families of Stadnicki, Lubomirski, and Potocki until 1944. Its close proximity to regional centre Rzeszów, means it gets its share of visitors – and rightly so, as it boasts an unusual wealth of attractions. The town is well-known throughout Poland for Łanćut Castle - the 17th-century grand aristocratic palace at its centre. The castle complex and park includes a wonderful museum of horse carriages, a stunning Orchid Garden, and the largest collection of Orthodox religious icons (over 2000) in Poland.

Lańcut is also notable for its 18th century synagogue, but better known for its distillery, established in the 18th century and still in operation today as Polmos Łancut. Visit the distillery museum - which is located in a Neoclassical manor house from 1883 and surrounded by a beautiful park - to learn the history of the site, its production, and the Polish vodka industry in general.
