„Outbullding” – the old Czartoryskisʼ palace

The building had been the distillery before and it was rebuilt in the second half of the XIX century. The apartments of the Gołuchów owners were created there. The main structure of the original building wasn’t changed, the rebuilding included two phases, thus the attractive architecture form was created. The all elements were connected in perfect way, you need to read historical documents to notice the phases of rebuilding. The military operations missed this place and it wasn’t destroyed.
