Dubiecko Castle stands on a terrace above the San River valley, west of Przemyśl in Subcarpathian Voivodeship. The estate's original castle dated to the 16th century — sources differ on its exact builders and date — and passed to Stanisław Krasicki in 1588, beginning a long association with the Krasicki family.
A major fire destroyed that castle in 1750, and at the end of the 18th century a classicist mansion rose in its place, rather than a rebuilt fortress. The building seen today combines this classicist core with a Gothic extension, a tower and small wall towers set around a courtyard and moat — a layered result of its rebuilding rather than a single architectural period.
The estate's most notable historical connection is literary rather than military: Ignacy Krasicki, who went on to become bishop of Warmia and later archbishop of Gniezno, and who is remembered as one of the leading Polish writers of the Enlightenment, was born here. Ownership eventually passed to the Konarski family, the estate's last private owners before nationalisation in 1958, after which the mansion was restored as a hotel furnished in period style.
Today's hotel includes a restaurant with Polish and Mediterranean-influenced dishes, a small spa with a hydromassage bath and Finnish sauna, and an 18th–19th-century park with a viewing terrace over the San, alongside ballroom and conference spaces that make the estate a popular wedding and conference venue.

Ignacy Krasicki, later bishop of Warmia and archbishop of Gniezno, was born here. The Konarski family were its last private owners before nationalisation in 1958, and it was restored as a hotel with period furniture.
