Szydłów Castle, Medieval castle complex in Szydłów, Poland
The fortified castle spans 7,000 square meters with two cylindrical towers, perimeter walls, and a stone building in the Świętokrzyskie region of Poland.
King Casimir the Great initiated the construction of the defensive complex in the mid-14th century, including the Gothic Knights' Hall with its hypocaust heating system.
The castle houses the Museum of Polish Castles in Skarbczyk, displaying 3D models of castles and life-size figures from the 14th and 15th centuries.
Following extensive renovations in 2019, visitors can explore the royal chamber, medieval heating system, and castle ruins within the limestone defensive walls.
The castle received 17 visits from King Władysław Jagiełło, leading to the construction of specialized chambers meeting royal accommodation standards.
