Muzeum zamkowe, Medieval castle museum in Kwidzyn, Poland
Muzeum zamkowe is a museum housed in a Gothic castle complex beside the cathedral in Kwidzyn. Its collections feature military objects, torture implements, and crafted pieces spanning multiple periods of the region.
The museum was founded in 1950 and became a branch of Malbork Castle Museum in 1973. This connection links local heritage with the broader medieval history of the Teutonic Order in the region.
The collection displays painted furniture, ceramics, and religious sculptures spanning five centuries from the Lower Vistula region. Visitors can see how local artisans expressed their beliefs and daily life through these handcrafted objects.
The collections are accessible most days of the week, though opening hours vary. Allow time to explore both the castle grounds and its exhibitions thoroughly during your visit.
A torture cabinet on display served as a film prop in a movie about the Teutonic Knights. The authentic cannon next to it dates from the early 15th century and showcases medieval weapons technology.
