Opoczno Castle, Renaissance castle in Opoczno, Poland

The castle features thick stone walls reaching 2.5 meters, three vaulted chambers, and multi-pitched roofs crowned with Renaissance attics.

Built between 1360 and 1365 under King Casimir the Great, the castle formed part of a defensive network protecting the Opoczno-Sandomierz region from Tatar invasions.

The Regional Museum within the castle walls exhibits historical and ethnographic collections documenting the traditions of the Opoczno region.

The castle underwent major renovations in 1874 and received Renaissance-style attics and arcaded porches during the 1920s reconstruction period.

The Odrowąż coat of arms remains carved above the southern gate, marking the historical significance of this administrative center for local starosts.
