Lublin Castle, Medieval royal museum in Lublin, Poland.

The castle rises on a limestone hill between the Bystrzyca and Czechówka rivers, featuring a Gothic Revival structure with a preserved Romanesque tower and chapel.

The castle served as a royal residence from the 12th century until 1569, when it hosted the signing of the Polish-Lithuanian Union, creating a unified commonwealth.

The Chapel of the Holy Trinity contains Gothic frescoes from 1418 that combine Western Catholic and Eastern Orthodox artistic traditions.

The museum displays archaeological findings, medieval artifacts, and paintings across three floors, with guided tours available in multiple languages.

Between 1831 and 1954, the castle functioned as a prison under Russian, Nazi, and Soviet regimes, detaining over 75,000 political prisoners.
