Szamotuły Castle, Medieval castle in Szamotuły, Poland
The castle consists of an L-shaped building and the Halszka Tower, featuring stepped buttresses and four-floor internal divisions at coordinates 52°40'N, 16°34'E.
The castle construction began in the mid-15th century under Dobrogost Świdwa-Szamotulski, with later expansion by Piotr, the castellan of Poznań and starost of Greater Poland.
The museum within the castle displays regional archaeological findings, ethnographic collections, and historical interiors representing local heritage through different time periods.

The Halszka Tower holds connections to a tale about Łukasz Górka's wife, who reportedly wore an iron mask while confined within its walls.
