Słupsk Castle, Renaissance castle in Słupsk, Poland.
The castle is a fortified structure in Slupsk featuring a rectangular layout with brick walls and a striking polygonal tower topped by a multi-angled dome with a lantern. The wider complex also contains a historic mill, a gate structure, and remains of older defensive works.
Duke Bogislaw X founded the original Gothic fortification in 1507, which underwent major renovation into a Renaissance residence between 1580 and 1587. These transformations reflect the shift from medieval defensive architecture to an aristocratic dwelling.
The museum housed inside tells the story of the region through collections of objects and written records that reflect how people lived and worked in this area over centuries.
Plan to spend several hours exploring the rooms and exhibitions inside. The location sits in the city center and is easily reached on foot, with clear entry points from the main street.
The mill attached to the castle still operates today and ranks among the oldest continuously working industrial buildings in the country. Its unbroken use across centuries makes it a rare example of medieval machinery that still functions.
