Sandomierz Castle, Gothic castle in Sandomierz, Poland

The west wing of Sandomierz Castle stands on Castle Hill, featuring Renaissance architecture with a classicist eastern facade and an octagonal tower.

King Casimir III the Great initiated the construction of the brick castle in 1349 after a fire destroyed the previous wooden stronghold.

The Regional Museum inside the castle displays collections of historical artifacts that represent the royal heritage of the Sandomierz region.

Visitors can access the castle through the main entrance at Zamkowa Street 12, where guided tours start every hour during opening times.

The castle walls contain special rhomboidal patterns created with zendrówka bricks, a specific type of fired brick used in medieval Polish construction.
