Description:
Internal corridor in the one-story Suite, in the north wing, arranged in the 1780s in times of Duke Stanisław Lubomirski, GMC and his wife, Duchess Izabella née Czartoryska (1736-1815) in the original 17th-century vaulted interiors of the Łańcut castle erected by Prince Stanisław Lubomirski (1583-1649), the first member of this family to own Łańcut. The corridor with an elongated, irregular shape adjoins the southern wall of the current Living Room and the former Bedroom. A single-leaf door in the southern wall leads to it from the Northern Corridor. Next to the doors' deep jambs, there is a deep low niche with a suspended arch – in the middle of the 19th century, a window overlooking the corridor. Opposite it, there is a double door to the Living Room with oval windows in the upper part. Next to it, in the western wall, there is a wooden wardrobe with a single-leaf door with linen, printed in a blue pattern, beige fabric glued on. All corridor walls, together with the jambs and niches, are decorated with colourful polychrome in an ochre-green colour imitating a wall made of stone blocks.
