In 1694 Cardinal Michał Stefan Radziejowski bought the grounds together with the mansion from Nieborowski family and using the existing walls of the older building, he built a baroque palace designed by Tylman van Gameren. In his last will the cardinal offered the Nieborów grounds as well as the palace to Konstancja Towiańska née Niszczycka and Jerzy Hipolit Towiański. In 1723 their son Krzysztof Mikołaj Towiański sold the grounds to General Aleksander Jakub Lubomirski and his wife Karolina Fryderyka von Vitzhum. In 1774 the new owner of Nieborów became Duke Michał Hieronim Radziwiłł, the voivode of Vilnius and one of the richest Polish–Lithuanian magnates. Michał Hieronim Radziwiłł organised one of the most significant collection of paintings by European masters of art – Dutch, German, Italian and Spanish. He also laid foundations to the collection of portraits of famous Polish and foreign personalities, several thousand engravings and etchings and a unique library of old prints (dating back to the 16th century), sets of Polish, English and French, furniture, artistic handicraft and decorative art – silvers, porcelain, glass and fabrics. At the beginning of 70s of the 18th century architect Szymon Bogumił Zug founded regular (French) garden for Michał Hieronim Radziwiłł. He also rebuilt the interior of the palace in the early classicist style in 1784 (Yellow and Green Cabinet, Voivode's Bedroom). The duke also introduced modern forms of management of the grounds on the farm.
