Rybnik Castle, now District Court

The large brick structure stands at 248 meters above sea level and features classical architectural elements with symmetrical wings and detailed facades.

Originally established in the 12th century by Mieszko IV Tanglefoot, the castle transformed into its current baroque form during extensive renovations in 1789.

The building demonstrates the evolution of Polish architecture from medieval fortification to baroque palace, now serving the modern judicial system.

Located at Plac Kopernika 2, the District Court occupies the entire castle complex and maintains regular operating hours for legal proceedings.

The castle spans 5,449 square meters and retains its original brick construction while functioning as an active courthouse since 1842.
