Nieborów is a small town known for its magnificent palace and park complex, which in the past belonged to the Radziejowski and Radziwiłł families. Together with the nearby park in Arkadia, it currently belongs to the National Museum in Warsaw.
From its foundation in the 14th century, Nieborów was a knight's and then a noble's village. Its importance increased in 1694, when the local goods were bought by the Primate of Poland, Michał Stefan Radziejowski. It was he who brought to Nieborów the famous architect Tylaman of Gameren, who designed a baroque palace for him.
The palace in Nieborów and the surrounding Baroque Garden came into the hands of one of the most important magnate families of the Republic of Poland, the Radziwiłł family in 1774. It is from the times of their rule that the rich furnishings of the palace interiors with magnificent wall decorations and valuable furniture come from.
The Radziwiłł family added an Orangery to the palace, and the park has a place for herb gardens and secluded nooks with picturesque small architecture. Many films were shot in the gardens and palace interiors that have survived to this day, such as Akademia Pana Kleksa, Chłopi, Lalka, Popioły or Dzieje Grzechu.
In 1881, Michał Piotr Radziwiłł founded Manufaktura Majoliki at the palace. To this day, it is, next to the residence, the most important attraction of Nieborów. In the place where ceramics were produced in the past, there is now a museum where you can see antique majolica products and furniture from the furniture manufactory, which also operated at the palace.
