Nieborów In the years , on the initiative of Primate Michal Stefan Radziejowski, a Baroque palace was erected according to a design by Tylman of Gameren. At the end of the 18th century the estate got into the hands of Prince Michal Hieronim Radziwill and his wife Helena nee Przezdziecka. They richly furnished it and partly changed the interior decorations. They also brought with them many valuable works of art, including the head sculpture of "Niobe", a Roman copy of the Greek original from the 4th century. The last owner of Nieborow was Prince Janusz Radziwill who modernized the palace in 1922 according to a design by Romuald Gutt. After 1945 Nieborow became a branch of the Warsaw National Museum. Apart from the magnificent interior the palace has a rich library, quest-room, and it hosts various meetings and conferences. It is surrounded by an enchanting and well-kept park.
