Lanci Franciszek Maria

Lanci Franz Maria was an architect of Italian origin born in 1799 in Fano, Italy. He came to Poland in 1825. Stanisław Małachowski invited him to his palace in Końskie so that Lanci could perform various works. In 1830, he moved to Kraków and ran the restoration of royal tombs in Wawel. He died in 1875 in Warsaw.

  • designing the sarcophagus of Tadeusz Kościuszko

  • designing a shooting range, tower, gazebo and mansion in the Strzelecki Garden
