Understand

Since at least the end of the 14th century^e century, Holszany was the seat of the Holszanski princes, a powerful family of which many present-day monarchs are descendants by Sophie de Holszany, queen consort of the Poland. After the death of the last male members of the family in the middle of the XVI^e century, the property was inherited, by marriage, from a member of the Sapieha family. It was under the princes of Sapieha that the buildings that currently attract tourists were constructed.
