Highlight • Viewpoint

"Indeed, the area is picturesque - two vineyard castles bow their faces..."

Perhaps this is what Adam Mickiewicz would say about the vineyard located at the foot of the 16th-century castle in Janowiec and, on the other side of the Vistula, the castle in Kazimierz Dolny. The vineyards were founded by Barbara and Andrzej Kwasko in 2014 and have now grown to three plots.

Janowiec Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle was first mentioned in 1537. It was probably built by Mikołaj Firlej at the beginning of the sixteenth century and enlarged by his son Piotr (voivode of the Ruthenian Voivodeship) and grandson Andrzej. Under Andrzej, the important architect Santi Gucci built the complex from 1565-1585 in the Renaissance style. The castle was destroyed by the Swedes under King Charles X Gustav during the Swedish Deluge in 1655.

All attempts to rebuild the extensive castle came to nothing. In 1928 the Warsaw archaeologist Leon Kozłowski bought the castle. His reconstruction plans were halted by World War II. Even in the socialist era, Kozłowski remained the owner because the state had no interest in the property. In 1975 the chateau was bought by the Muzeum Nadwiślańskie in Kazimierz Dolny. The building has been renovated since 1988. The concept is to leave a substantial part of the building in ruins, while the other part is to be meticulously restored (Wikipedia).

The castle is open for tours and special events.

Janowiec Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

In the Middle Ages there was a village called Serokomla. In the 15th century, this area belonged to the Janowski family of the coat of arms... Serokomla. The name of the later town of Janowiec probably comes from their surname. Janowiec received city rights in 1537, at a time when the whole area was under the rule of the Firlej family.
