Tykocin Castle, Medieval castle in Tykocin, Poland.
Located on the right bank of the Narew River, Tykocin Castle features four cylindrical towers at its corners and follows a trapezoidal layout with fortified walls.
The castle construction started in 1433 under Lithuanian noble Jonas Goštautas, replacing a wooden fortress before becoming the property of King Sigismund II Augustus in 1560.
The castle houses a museum in its basements displaying historical artifacts and includes the Glass Chamber adorned with a large tiled stove and period furnishings.
The castle offers guided tours lasting 35 minutes, accommodation in six guest rooms, and a restaurant serving regional dishes influenced by Podlasie and Jewish traditions.
The embalmed body of King Sigismund II Augustus remained in the castle for 14 months after his death, awaiting burial until a new king was elected.
