Il percorso

The walk begins at the castle tower, whose interior once housed an oratory, a treasury and a prison cell. It continues through the galleries with their Gothic paintings to the cellars, the residence's former service spaces. The Great Refectory and the Assembly Hall then introduce the ceremonial part of the castle: vaults, wall decoration and changes in how the rooms were used.

The next stops are the bishops' apartments and the exhibition about Ignacy Krasicki in the former serving room. Here the subjects are domestic life, collecting and the everyday running of the court. The walk ends in the Chapel of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, with Rococo altars, biblical scenes and an organ built in 1760.
