Dutch-Polish artistic relations of the 17th century are exemplified at the highest level in the figure of the architect Tilman van Gameren (1632 ? 1706). Van Gameren, one of the foremost Polish architects of the 17th century, was born in Utrcht in 1632. In 1661 he was working in Venice, reportedly as a painter of battle scenes. In that year he was invited to come to Poland by Prince Jerzy Sebastian Lubomirski. He spent the rest of his life in the service of the Lubomirskis, one of the most important of Polish magnate families, creating royal, military, ecclesiastical, agricultural, horticultural and civic commissions throughout his adopted country.

Nieborów Palace built between 1690 and 1696 by the Utrecht architect Tilman van Gameren for Primate Michal Stefan Radziejowski of Poland. A French style garden was subsequently added behind the palace. In 1774 it was purchased by Prince Michael Radziwill, who employed Szymon Bogumil Zug to create an English-style landscape park.
