Lidzbark, Medieval town in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland.

The Gothic Castle of Warmian Bishops stands alongside medieval town walls, a Baroque Grabowski Palace, and a Gothic Collegiate church in Lidzbark.

Founded in 1301, Lidzbark received town privileges in 1309 and became an important religious center as the seat of the Bishopric of Warmia.

Nicolaus Copernicus resided in Lidzbark castle around 1503, where he possibly wrote sections of his astronomical work De revolutionibus orbium coelestium.

The town maintains several educational institutions from kindergartens to colleges, serving the local population of 8,670 residents.

During the winter of 1703-1704, Swedish King Charles XII established his temporary residence in Lidzbark during the Great Northern War.
