Household courtyard of the castle in Łańcut

Farm yard of Łańcut Castle The photograph shows the farm yard of Łańcut Castle, with buildings and an old plane tree in the foreground. Also visible are the western elevation of the castle tower, the annex connecting the castle with the outbuilding, and the northern elevation of the outbuilding. There are trees in the background of the buildings and a birch bench under the plane tree. The photograph was taken in late autumn or early spring: the trees are devoid of leaves. The photograph was taken by Dr Józef Piotrowski (1873–1939), a Lviv art historian. From 1 June 1920 to 1929, he served as a conservator at the Lviv Voivodeship Office (see Piotr Lasek, Inwentaryzacja zabytków architektury w lwowskim okręgu konserwatorskim 1920-1939. Szkice z dziejów, Warsaw: Instytut Sztuki PAN, 2020, pp. 32–62). He was the author of the study Zamek w Łańcucie. Zwięzły opis dziejów i zbiorów and the author of photographic documentation of the Łańcut Castle, its interiors and collections, today owned by the Łańcut Castle Museum (among others, albums, volumes I-X, Lviv 1936) and the Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw (albums, volumes I-IX, Lviv 1929).
