It is located in the heart of the Forest Culture Center, where over 80,000 trees grow. We will also find a Show Animal Farm, in which there are several bisons, fallow deer, wild boars and Polish horses. The history of the castle is over 400 years old. Under the courtyard terrace are the oldest fragments of the castle - cellars from the second half of the 16th century. Together with the foundations of the Belvedere Palace and three towers visible from the courtyard, they are the only remnants of the fortified manor that was built around 1560 by Rafał Leszczyński. At the beginning of the 17th century, the building was transformed into an impressive magnate residence. The castle's current appearance is due to Izabella Działyńska from Czartoryskie, which gave it the style of the French Renaissance, inspired by the famous royal castles from the Loire, so today we can admire the characteristic high, slate roofs, slender chimneys and sculptural decor. Izabella's intention was to create a museum in the castle. Before her death, she created the Charter of the Princes Czartoryski in Gołuchów. In its statute, it guaranteed the general availability of its collections and their indivisibility. This private museum operated until September 1939. During World War II, the collections were taken by the Nazis, many exhibits were destroyed, others were lost. A surviving part of the collection returned to Poland in 1956 from the former Soviet Union. The castle in 1951 was taken over by the National Museum in Poznań. The new host has equipped the castle rooms with his own collections, including wonderful tapestries, renaissance European painting, rare furniture items, a collection of handicrafts. With time, monuments from the Izabella collection return to Gołuchów.
