At that time, Stanislaw Lubormiski was the greatest landowner on the continent, with close to a million serfs, according to historian Norman Davies. Despite the vicissitudes of Poland's history, the family managed to reclaim the castle in 1991 after the fall of the communists. They don't actually live here these days, but the castle museum provides an interesting echo of times past.

Wisnicz Castle is picturesquely located at the top of a hill. Built in the Gothic style in the 15th century, it has been restyled many times by its subsequent owners. In the 17th century, the architect Maciej Trapoli surrounded it with the modern system of fortifications. Burned by the Swedish army during the 'deluge', Wisnicz was only restored after World War II. The only original elements which have survived throughout the ages are its massive towers.
