Radom Castle, Medieval castle in Radom, Poland.
Radom Castle is a medieval fortified complex in Radom, Poland, built around a three-story Great House with a rectangular layout. The ground floor once held administrative rooms, and underground cellars used for storage are partially preserved beneath the structure.
The castle was built around 1350 on the orders of King Casimir the Great, who also moved the existing town to a new location at the same time. In the following century, towers were added and dedicated walls separated the grounds from the rest of the town.
The castle hosted several sessions of the Polish parliament, known as the Sejm, during the medieval and early modern periods. Walking through the surviving ground floor, visitors can see the spaces where these gatherings once took place.
Part of the ground floor and cellars is not open to visitors, as the building currently serves as a rectory. Ongoing archaeological work may limit access to certain areas, so it is worth checking in advance which parts of the site can be visited.
When the castle was built, the entire old town of Radom was moved to a new location to make room for the fortress. This kind of planned relocation was part of a broader royal programme that reshaped dozens of towns across Poland under Casimir the Great.
