Things to see and do Puławy

Created in the th century, this beautiful green area has many pavilions that host temporary exhibitions in summer, or classical music concerts. The place is enchanting.

Built by the architect Tylman Van Gameren between 1676 and 1679, this magnificent palace has been redesigned several times before acquiring its final neo-classical appearance. Today it hosts an agronomic research institute and cannot be visited. The palace is located in the middle of a beautiful English park, wanted by the Princess Izabela Czartoryska in the eighteenth century. This beautiful green space has many pavilions that host temporary exhibitions in summer, or classical music concerts.

Gothic house. Opened in 1809, the Gothic house (Dom goticki) was used mainly for art exhibitions from abroad. Here was also the Lady at the Hammerard de Vinci. Following the insurrection of November 1830, most of the collection was transported to France, where Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski, the last owner of Pulawy, exile. At the end of the nineteenth century, Władysław Czartoryski brings the collection to Krakow, where it is to date. Today, the Gothic house displays a collection of objects from the Czartoryski family, including many portraits.

Sybille Temple (Şwiatinia Sybilli). It was built in 1798-1801 on the model of Tivoli Temple near Rome; It is the most important historical monument in the city. According to Princess Izabela Czartoryska, who asked the foundation, he had to serve as a temple of memory. Here, the objects of the Sieniawski, Lubomirski, Czartoryski and other Polish nobles were exposed to remind everyone of the greatness of the Polish nation. In 1830, before the uprising in November, the collections were transported to Paris, and then to Krakow, where they became the nucleus of the Museum of the Czartoryski Princes.

Caves. In the north-west of the palace, along the Vistule, we arrived at caves (groty, 3.50 zl, tickets for sale at PTTK office, flares supplied), created in 1791 when Izabela decided to enlarge limestone quarries.

Regional Museum (Muzeum Czartoryskich w Puławach, ul. Czartoryskich 8). 200 m north of the palace, presents an ethnographic and archeological collection. Between May and October, part of the collection is exposed to the Gothic house and the Sybille temple.

Chapel Czartoryski. 200 m further, on Piłsudskiego Street, is the Czartoryski chapel, dating from the beginning of the nineteenth century, a copy of the Roman pantheon. It is a pity that interior parts are no longer of origin, but we will still appreciate the quality of the interior decoration.
