Będzin Castle, Medieval castle and museum in Będzin, Poland
The stone fortress rises on a limestone hill above the Będzin River, featuring Gothic architecture with cylindrical towers and defensive walls.
King Casimir the Great transformed the wooden stronghold into a stone castle during the 14th century to protect trade routes in Silesia.
The Museum of Zagłębie inside the castle displays regional artifacts, medieval weapons, and exhibitions about local traditions through centuries.
Visitors can access the castle daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with guided tours available in Polish and English every two hours.
The castle tower contains a preserved 13th-century cylindrical keep, which predates the main castle structure by several decades.
