Brzeg Castle, Renaissance castle in Brzeg, Poland
The castle stands on a cliff by the Oder River, featuring triple-story galleries and a richly decorated gatehouse with stone figures of Piast rulers.
Built in 1235 during Henry I the Bearded's reign, the castle served as the residence of the Piast dynasty from 1311 to 1675.
The Museum of the Silesian Piasts occupies the castle, displaying valuable artifacts including medieval sarcophagi of Legnica and Brzeg dukes.
Visitors can explore the courtyard without entrance fees, while guided tours and regular museum admission tickets are available for the interior sections.
The castle contains a preserved 14th-century hunting bow and houses a collection of medieval sculptures transferred from the National Museum in Wrocław.
