Janów Podlaski CastleIn 1450, after the invasion and destruction of Łuck by the Tatars, Bishop Jan Łosowicz moved permanently to the village of Porchowo.

In 1465, a location privilege was issued in Chociaczów under Chełmno law and the town adopted the name Janów. The residents were then exempted from paying fees for a period of 20 years, received the right to sell and exchange shops, houses, gardens and permission to build all kinds of wooden buildings within the city limits, as well as fishing from the Bug River and brewing beer. The duties included repairing damaged embankments. The location privilege is known only from a copy from 1821.

Historical sources contain information about the restoration of Janów Castle by Bishop Bernard Maciejowski (1588-1600).

During the Swedish invasion, the castle was repeatedly invaded and captured. On March 9, 1656, it was captured by the troops of the traitor Bogusław Radziwiłł, and in January 1660, it was captured and most likely burned by the Russian troops of Khovanski. The history of the buildings of the bishop's castle in Janów Podlaski that still exist today begins in the 18th century, when in the years 1770-1780, Bishop Paweł Turski built a baroque palace on the site of the former residence. At that time, the complex consisted of a residential part (castle), earthen fortifications with a moat, an Italian garden, a vegetable garden, a farm, ponds and a forest. The main body, burned by the Swedes, was not rebuilt and from then on the castle consisted of two parallel outbuildings with a courtyard in the middle.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, until World War II, the castle belonged to the Church, and for some time also to the Government Horse Stud in Janów. During the war, the castle area was seriously devastated. After the war, the castle was taken over by the state and transferred to the Janów Stud. For a short period of time, a border guard unit operated in one of the outbuildings, and a tall antenna mast stood in the courtyard. Since the 1990s, the castle has been abandoned and has fallen into ruin.

Revitalization

The 40 ha Janów Castle complex will include: the Castle building with an added main body connecting the outbuildings, the rebuilt building of the old Cugowa Stable, which will house the SPA club, reconstructed historical ponds and a reservoir located on the western side of the complex, and a residential ward and a car park for a total of 180 cars and 4 coaches. The castle buildings, stables and the ward will be connected by an underground corridor leading from the conference centre under the courtyard.

The entire complex is to be adapted into a four-star Hotel and Conference Centre, which, in addition to accommodation and conference facilities, will include a SPA, an indoor recreational swimming pool, a rehabilitation centre and a residential ward consisting of a complex of 40 high-standard terraced houses. A total of 70 hotel rooms will be built in the castle's outbuildings, including 10 historical apartments, while under the courtyard there will be an underground conference room with an area of over 800 m2, which can be freely divided into up to 12 smaller rooms and an equally large foyer.
