Łęczyca Castle, Gothic castle in Łęczyca, Poland

The castle features a square tower with 9.5-meter sides that transitions into an octagon and contains a three-story residential wing called New House.

King Casimir III the Great ordered the construction of this fortification between 1357 and 1370, establishing it as a strategic royal residence.

The castle complex now houses the Museum of the Land of Łęczyca, displaying collections that represent the regional heritage of central Poland.

The castle grounds include a cobblestone courtyard that accommodates various cultural events and educational programs throughout the year.

Following the Battle of Grunwald in 1410, the castle served as a detention facility for captured Teutonic Knights who were held for ransom.
