Imperial Castle in Poznań, Neo-Romanesque castle in Imperial District, Poland.
The Imperial Castle features a central clock tower, two distinct wings housing apartments and ceremonial rooms, and multiple courtyards across its expansive grounds.
German Emperor Wilhelm II commissioned architect Franz Schwechten to design this residence in 1904, which became a symbol of German power in Greater Poland.
The castle now functions as Centrum Kultury Zamek, hosting art exhibitions, theatrical performances, cinema screenings, and numerous cultural events throughout the year.
Located near public transportation routes, the castle opens daily for guided tours and contains multiple dining establishments, art galleries, and performance venues.
The castle's rose courtyard contains a fountain that replicates the 13th-century lion fountain from the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain.
