About the route

The route runs from the Gate of the Chosen, the historic entrance to the castle and park complex, to the Gothic cellars, home to the Armoury with European and oriental weapons from the 16th to the early 20th century.

From the cellars the route leads to the representative floor, covering the 19th and 20th Century Interiors exhibition, then to the Portrait Gallery showing the castle's successive owners, the Polish Hall for Prince Józef Poniatowski devoted to the residence's ties with Polish culture, and ends at the Cabinet of Miniatures in the building's western wing.
