Visit with the King
Who was King Jan III? We will tell you about the great love between the King and his family, what he liked to read, and whether he wore sandals. You will also find animals hidden in the interior decorations and try on a nobleman's kontusz coat.
Although King Jan III will not greet us in his residence in person, we will get to know him well when visiting the chambers where he stayed more than 300 years ago. We will find out who he called his "eternal passion", how many books he collected in the royal library, and what he liked to read. We will also answer the question whether the victor of the Battle of Vienna really went to war in sandals. Discerning guests will find a grey cat and a small monkey in the royal apartments. We will also play at being a 17th-century nobleman for a while, by putting on a traditional nobleman's żupan and kontusz coat …
