Racibórz Castle, Gothic castle in Racibórz, Poland

The medieval fortress features defensive walls, a chapel, and a brewery complex on an elevation of 199 meters above sea level.

The castle's first brick structures date to 1250, when wooden fortifications were gradually replaced with stone and brick defensive elements.

The Gothic chapel of Saint Thomas Becket, constructed between 1288 and 1293, represents the architectural excellence of Upper Silesian medieval craftsmanship.

The castle opens from Tuesday to Sunday between 8:00 and 18:00, with guided tours starting every hour until the final entry at 16:00.

The castle's mint produced medieval bracteates with the inscription MILOST, marking one of the first appearances of Polish language on coins.
