English: Nowy Wiśnicz is a small town in
Bochnia County,
Lesser Poland Province, located south of
Bochnia in Poland. The former
Carmelite Church in Nowy Wiśnicz was established by
Stanisław Lubomirski (1583–1649),
Province of Kraków to commemorate the victory over the Turks in the
Battle of Khotyn (1621).
The first mentions of
Lubomirski Family Residences in
Lubomierz were recorded in 1398. The number of family estates, starting with
Gdów and
Szczyrzyc which the family also possessed in the thirteenth century, increased significantly. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries they were located in Lubomierz, Nowy Wiśnicz, Bochnia,
Wieliczka,
Łańcut,
Baranów Sandomierski,
Puławy,
Rzeszów,
Równe,
Tarnów,
Jarosław,
Przeworsk, and
Janowiec upon the
Vistula, among others. To this day, the castle in Nowy Wiśnicz remains the property of the Family Association of the Princes Lubomirski. Many estates were located in the territories of the largest Polish cities:
Warsaw (eg
Mokotów,
Ujazdów (pl),
Czerniaków),
Kraków (
Wola Justowska, Kamienica Pod Baranami),
Rzeszów (castle),
Sandomierz, and
Lwów. Maintaining foreign residences in
Drezno,
Vienna, and
Paris enhanced family prestige. The members of the family were referred to as "the owners of the bank of the
Dnieper River" because many of their estates were located in what is now Ukraine and Slovakia. The Lubomirski Family enjoyed political, military, and economic influence, which was concentrated in the provinces of Kraków, Sandomierz,
Stanisławów, and
Ruthenia, to eventually cover the whole area of the
Commonwealth of the Two Nations. They kept this state of ownership until the collapse of the Polish state, when they were deprived of many estates as a result of penalties for pro-independence activities.
The Scotch Mist Gallery contains many photographs of historic buildings, monuments and memorials of Poland.
