What to expect
Museum of King Jan III's Palace at Wilanów
Wilanów Palace is Poland's "Little Versailles", the home of its greatest King, Jan III Sobieski, a legendary man of many virtues, talents and interests.
The gorgeous Saint Anne's Church is opposite the Restaurant Wilanów. A church has stood on the same site since the 14th-century wooden church of St. Leonard. It was replaced with the brick one in 1772.
The history of the Wilanow Palace, a wonderful Baroque royal residence, began on April 23, 1677, when a village became the property of King John Sobieski III. The first museum at Wilanów was opened in 1805 by the palace's owner at the time, Stanisław Kostka Potocki.
