Castle of the Masovian Dukes in Ciechanów, Gothic fortified castle in Ciechanów, Poland.

The brick castle features two circular towers at opposite corners, with walls reaching 10 meters high surrounding a rectangular courtyard measuring 48 by 57 meters.

Construction began in 1420 under Prince Janusz I, with master builder Niklos overseeing the project until its completion in 1429 as a defensive fortress.

The castle serves as a museum displaying medieval artifacts, architectural elements, and exhibitions about the Masovian dukes who governed this region of Poland.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds and exhibitions from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with regular admission costing 10 złoty.

The castle foundation rests on wooden stakes driven into wetlands, with the Łydynia River forming natural protection on three sides of the structure.
