The castle in cutańcut
In 1629 Stanisław Lubomirski purchased Łańcut by Stanisław Stadnicki’s sons. 1629-1641, a castle with corner towers was built here, surrounded by a fortification system with bastions, a double violence and a dry moat. The castle's current appearance is due to the redevelopment, which was carried out in the second half of the 18th century. In 1816, this property, along with other properties, by inheritance, passed to the author Jan Potocki’s sons; at the inheritance in 1823, the eldest son, Alfred Potocki, got the castle in cutańcut. 1889-1912 the castle was rebuilt and modernized. The last owner, Alfred III Potocki (1915-1944), made the castle available for diplomatic meeting during the interwar period.
