Lublin Castle, Medieval royal castle in Lublin, Poland.

The castle stands on a limestone hill above the Bystrzyca and Czechówka rivers, featuring a 13th-century Romanesque tower and Gothic chapel.

The castle gained prominence in 1569 when it hosted the signing of the Union of Lublin, establishing the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

The Holy Trinity Chapel contains rare Ruthenian-Byzantine frescoes commissioned by King Władysław Jagiełło in the early 15th century.

The National Museum of Lublin occupies the castle premises since 1957, displaying collections of paintings, artifacts, and regional historical exhibits.

The castle served as a prison for 128 years, from 1826 to 1954, holding political prisoners during Russian, Nazi, and Soviet periods.
