The Stajnie i Wozownia (Stables and Carriage House) is a key architectural component of the Łańcut Castle complex, housing one of the most significant collections of horse-drawn vehicles in Central Europe. The building dates back to the early 20th century, commissioned by Count Roman Potocki to replace older utilitarian structures. It serves as a specialized museum showcasing the evolution of aristocratic transport, including grand carriages, coaches, and ceremonial sleighs. The collection features vehicles from renowned manufacturers in Vienna, Paris, and London. Visitors can observe the technological transition from traditional horse-drawn carriages to early motorization. The space also preserves original stable architecture, including ornate stalls and harness rooms. It provides critical context to the lifestyle and travel habits of the Potocki family during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The central courtyard between the carriage house wings offers the best perspective of the architectural symmetry.
