Royal Castle in Warsaw, Castle and museum in Castle Square, Warsaw, Poland
The Royal Castle stands at the entrance of Warsaw's Old Town with its characteristic red brick facade and tall clock tower rising above Castle Square.
German forces deliberately demolished the castle during World War II, leading to an extensive reconstruction project completed in 1984 using original architectural plans.
The castle exhibits European paintings, including works by Rembrandt, alongside period furniture and decorative items that belonged to Polish monarchs through centuries.
The museum provides guided tours in multiple languages through the Royal Apartments, letting visitors explore the chambers where King Stanisław August resided.
The castle holds the original document of the Constitution of May 3, 1791, which established Europe's first modern constitutional monarchy.
