Gliwice Castle, Medieval castle in Gliwice, Poland
The castle stands with a prominent tower from 1322, connected to an adjacent structure that previously functioned as an armory and city fortification.
During the Hussite Wars in the early 15th century, Taborite forces captured the castle without resistance, leading to changes in regional military dynamics.
The castle now operates as part of the Gliwice Museum, presenting exhibitions about regional history and hosting educational programs for visitors.
Visitors can access the castle museum throughout the year, with guided tours available in multiple languages through prior reservation.
The structure underwent several transformations, serving as a residence, jail, and magazine before its conversion into a cultural institution in 1945.
