Accommodation in Gmina Lubaczów
Lubaczów’s cultural history is reflected in a variety of places: the town hall with its distinctive floor plan, the castle and park complex, exhibitions, and a church ensemble and cemetery. These places offer different perspectives on architectural history, regional memory, and stone carving. If you would like to focus your stay on culture, you can give these themes separate emphasis rather than treating them as a single subject.

Town Hall and Architectural History
The town hall stands in a continuous row of buildings along the western side of the square. The plastered brick building has an upper storey and a gabled roof covered with sheet metal. Its L-shaped floor plan encloses a courtyard, which is as much a part of the building as its exterior form. For travellers interested in historic architecture, this presents several specific features to explore: its location on the square, the building material, the number of storeys, and the courtyard layout. The town hall was entered in the heritage register of the Subcarpathian Voivodeship in 2011 under registration number A-568.
Castle Remains, Park, and Exhibitions
The castle and park complex preserves the oldest traces of a castle on the Sołotwa and Lubaczówka rivers, as well as traces of earlier small-town buildings made of wood and stone. Different architectural themes meet here: the castle and earlier construction in wood and stone. The park within the complex is used for recreation and leisure. Cultural events and educational activities about the history of the region and the Kresy of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth take place there.
The Muzeum Kresów in Lubaczów presents permanent and temporary exhibitions about the Lubaczów region and the former Kresy of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The exhibitions offer a different perspective from the surviving architectural traces in the castle and park complex: here, the focus is on regional history and changing displays. If you would like to plan your visit around a particular exhibition, it is worth checking the current exhibition titles in advance.
Church Ensemble and Stone Carving
The church and bell tower ensemble is located on Grunwaldzka Street. It was entered in the heritage register of the Subcarpathian Voivodeship in 1988 under registration number A-316. Another perspective on the cultural heritage is the epidemic cemetery in Lubaczów, where stone tombstones made by the stone-carving workshops of Brusno Stare, active until the 1940s, have been preserved. This folk-art heritage makes the craftsmanship behind the town’s history tangible.
Make Culture the Focus of Your Trip
If you would like to focus on historic architectural styles, the town hall and church ensemble can shape your choice of themes; for exhibitions and regional history, the museum and castle and park complex offer different starting points. The cemetery adds the heritage of stone carving to this selection.
