Royal Castle, Kalisz, Medieval castle in Kalisz, Poland.

The Royal Castle features brick walls on stone foundations, with exposed archaeological remains showing a quadrangular layout measuring approximately 46 meters on each side.

Built during the first half of the 14th century under Casimir III the Great, the castle replaced an older wooden structure mentioned in documents from 1284.

The castle served as a residence for Polish monarchs, with King Władysław Jagiełło visiting 27 times between 1394 and 1433, including Easter celebrations in 1402.

The foundation walls remain preserved as an archaeological park, allowing visitors to examine the original medieval construction techniques and castle layout.

Located on a sandy riverside island within the Prosna Valley, the castle stood directly against the city wall, raised two meters above ground before construction.
