Radom Castle, Medieval castle in Radom, Poland.
Radom Castle is a fortified complex with a rectangular layout centered on a three-story Great House. Its underground cellars once stored supplies while the ground floor held administrative rooms.
A king ordered the castle built around 1350 and relocated the town to a new site at the same time. In the 15th century, additional towers were added and the grounds were separated from the town by dedicated walls.
The castle served as a meeting place for important regional gatherings that brought together influential leaders. Visitors today can sense the significance of these assemblies in the surviving spaces.
The surviving ground floor and cellars remain partly closed to public access as they continue to serve as a rectory. The ongoing excavations gradually reveal the layout and foundations for future exhibition spaces.
The town itself moved when the castle was built - the original settlement was relocated to make room for the fortress and a new urban layout. This relocation reshaped Radom's entire identity and geography.
