Birthplace. This Manor House stands in a lovely park and houses a museum

Before
returning to Warsaw, visit Nieborow. The baroque Nieborów Palace once
belonged to one of the most prominent Polsh aristocratic families, the
Radziwills. With a romantic garden, Arkadia, situated 5 km from the
palace, the complex is certainly worth a day trip. The park is believed
to be the most beautiful in Poland. The park was founded in 1778 by
Princess Helena Radziwill. For designing and decorating its numerous
pavilions, such as the Shrine of Diana, Priest's Sanctuary, Gothic
Cottage, Arena and Circus, Duchess Helena employed the most outstanding
Polish architects and painters of the time. She also gathered one of the
first antique art collections in Poland in the park.
