Near Przemyśl, between the hills of the Przemyśl Plateau, stands the great residence of the Krasicki family. The castle was built at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries in the Renaissance and Mannerist style. You can admire the external elevations with their characteristic sgraffiti, and the courtyard surrounded by cloisters with four towers rising in the corners: the Divine, the Papal, the Royal and the Manor.

Among the well-preserved interiors, one ceremonial hall stands out: the Great Royal Table Chamber. In the 18th century, it was overrun and looted. From the 1830s until 1939, it was owned by the Sapiehas. During World War II, it was destroyed, and in the People’s Republic of Poland era, it was used as a vocational secondary school of forestry. In 1996, extensive restoration works were conducted and today, the castle and park complex is one of the most beautiful manorial residences in the province. The castle is surrounded by a park with ornamental trees and shrubs, especially attractive in early summer in the flowering period.
