Tarnów Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Tarnów, Poland

The stone and brick remnants of Tarnowski Castle stand on the northern side of St. Martin's Hill, featuring fragments of walls and a defensive tower foundation.

Construction of the castle began in 1329 under Spycymir Leliwita, with the chapel consecration taking place in 1331 during the reign of King Władysław Łokietek.

The castle contained a library, treasury, and family museum, serving as a center of noble life until its capture and subsequent decline in 1570.

Located at Wypoczynkowa 54 in Tarnów, the ruins remain accessible throughout the year without entrance fees, allowing visitors to explore the historical grounds.

The ruins include a preserved arsenal section on the eastern side, displaying original columns and vaulting from the medieval construction period.
