Saltworks Castle in Wieliczka, Gothic castle in Wieliczka, Poland
The white stone castle consists of three sections: Central Castle, North Castle, and South Castle, connected around a central courtyard with medieval walls.
For 700 years, the castle operated as the administrative center of the Cracow Saltworks, managing the salt mines of Wieliczka and Bochnia until 1945.
The Gothic Hall displays portraits of former saltworks managers and contains Poland's largest collection of decorative salt cellars made from premium materials.
The castle museum opens daily except Mondays, with guided tours available in multiple languages and a dedicated parking area for visitors near the entrance.
The castle grounds include the last remaining tower in Wieliczka, which served as a prison, and an ancient mining shaft discovered five decades ago.
