Great video and here is the English translation of his description on YouTube if any one is interested -
Janowiec Castle – a Renaissance castle built in the years 1508–1526 on the high Vistula escarpment in Janowiec in the Puławy County.
HistoryXVI century.The construction of the castle in 1508 was started by Mikołaj Firlej, the later starost of Kazimierz. It was continued by his son, the Ruthenian voivode Piotr Firlej. It was a late Gothic-Renaissance defensive castle, fortified by bastions protruding in front of the line of walls. It had the ability to fire along the fortifications. In the years 1565-1585, the castle was rebuilt in the late Renaissance-Mannerist style, which was led by the Italian architect Santi Gucci.
Two wings were added, access to which was provided by a cloister. The buildings from the south and north had an attic.XVII century.At the beginning of the seventeenth century, after the castle was taken over by the Tarło family in 1593, the residential part was expanded and a cylindrical western and eastern tower was added.In 1606, the reconciliation of King Sigismund III Vasa with the Grand Marshal of the Crown Mikołaj Zebrzydowski, the leader of Zebrzydowski's rebellion, took place in the castle.The next owners, the Lubomirski family, built a chapel around 1654.On February 7, 1656, the castle was plundered and burned during the invasion of the Swedes under the command of Charles Gustav.
It was rebuilt and expanded in the Baroque style by the Lubomirski family, in whose possession it was until the first half of the eighteenth century. The reconstruction was led by the Dutch architect Tylman of Gameren.18th and 19th centuries.In 1783 Jerzy Marcin Lubomirski sold the castle. Its new owner was Mikołaj Piaskowski. However, neither he nor the subsequent owners (m.in. Osławski) were able to maintain the castle. They sold all the equipment (even the marbles were taken off the walls), and the castle was abandoned and fell into disrepair, serving as a resource for building material.XX century.
In 1931, the castle was purchased by Leon Kozłowski, a Varsovian. He renovated only two rooms in the tower, but – more importantly – he stopped vandals. The castle with the adjacent land was too small an estate to be nationalized as part of the adopted agrarian reform. As a result, Kozłowski was the only owner of the castle in the Eastern Bloc. In 1975, the building was purchased by the Vistula Museum and since 1993 it has been gradually renovated.
