Castle in Kazimierz Dolny, Poland (part 1 of 2)
The castle complex in Kazimierz Dolny consists of a round tower and the ruins of the castle. The tower is the oldest building in Kazimierz, built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. The defensive tower is 20 meters high, the walls on the ground floor are approximately 10 meters thick, and the entrance to it is 6 meters high. The tower was probably once surrounded by a palisade. It was a place of protection and customs collection for the existing crossing on the Vistula.

Janowiec Castle, Poland
It is located in the western part of the Lublin Province on the Vistula River. It was erected in the years 1508 - 1526 thanks to the efforts of Mikołaj Firlej, the Great Hetman of the Crown, and for over 150 years it remained in the possession of the Firlejs
At the end of the 16th century, the fortress began to lose its military significance in favor of residential functions. In the years 1565-1585, further expansion of the castle took place. The work was led by an Italian architect - Santi Gucci
At the beginning of the 17th century, after the Tarło family took over the castle, the residential part was extended and the western and eastern towers were added
On February 7, 1656, the castle was plundered and burned during the Swedish invasion under the command of Charles Gustav. Then, it was rebuilt and extended in the Baroque style by the Lubomirski family, who owned it until the first half of the 18th century. The reconstruction was supervised by the Dutch architect Tylman of Gameren
In 1783, Jerzy Marcin Lubomirski lost a castle at cards. Its new owner was Mikołaj Piaskowski. However, neither he nor the subsequent owners (including the Osławski family) were able to maintain the castle. They sold all the furnishings (even the marbles were taken off the walls) and the castle was abandoned and fell into disrepair
In 1931, the castle was purchased by Leon Kozłowski from Warsaw. He renovated only two rooms in the tower, but - more importantly - stopped the vandals. The castle with the adjacent land was too small an estate to be nationalized as part of the agricultural reform passed. As a result, Kozłowski was the only owner of the castle in the Eastern Block
In 1975, the building was purchased by the Vistula Museum and since 1993 it has been gradually renovated

The Radziwiłł palace and park complex in Biała Podlaska, Poland (part 2)
Entry gate
The Baroque gate, built of sandstone, was the main entrance to the residence. Built in the years 1699-1702, probably by the architect Józefat Jeziornicki, modeled on the triumphal arch of Constantine the Great in Rome, it was the showcase of the entire palace complex. It has a rich sculptural decoration of a triumphal and military character.
Gate tower
The tower is a Baroque building, erected by Józefat Jeziornicki in the years 1699-1701, projected on a square plan, framed from the bottom with two-storey buildings. It consists of five floors. It is topped with a Baroque helmet on a gloriette. The corners of the tower are decorated with two parallel pilaster strips running side by side. There was a clock on the tower from the side of the palace. In the past, the gate tower served as a guard and a prison.
Neck
Built in the years 1699-1701 and rebuilt in the 1920s, it connects the entrance gate with the gate tower. It is a brick and plastered building, on a quarter-circle plan, covered with a gable roof. In the past, it served as a communication link between the main gate and the tower through which the entrance to the courtyard led. Passing through the dark tunnel of the neck and seeing the palace building located at its exit aroused respect for the power of the Radziwiłł family.
