Royal Castle, Poznań, Royal castle on Przemysl Hill, Poznań, Poland
The Royal Castle features a 43-meter tower with stone foundations, red brick walls, and architectural elements from the Romanesque period.
Construction of the castle began in 1249 under Duke Przemysl I, who selected Poznań as his capital and established the initial fortified residence.
The ground floor houses a permanent exhibition dedicated to the castle's history and King Przemysl II, displaying medieval artifacts and royal memorabilia.
The Museum of Applied Arts occupies multiple floors of the castle, offering visitors access to historical collections and panoramic views from the tower.
Between 2010 and 2016, engineers and architects completed a full reconstruction of the castle, restoring its medieval appearance after centuries of damage.
