Lublin Castle
Zamkowa Street 9, 21-117 Lublin, Poland
Description:
Lublin Castle is a prominent historical and architectural monument located in the center of Lublin. This palace complex is considered one of the main city attractions and attracts many tourists.
The castle was laid back in the XII century, but at that time it was more of a defensive fort, not able to boast of the exquisites of architecture. In a real masterpiece of medieval architecture, the castle turned four centuries later - in 1520. The palace was later used as a royal residence. Important meetings were held in Lublin Castle and crucial military and political decisions were made. In the XIX century, the palace was partially destroyed due to military operations, and after restoration, it already served as a prison - political criminals were kept here.
Today Lublin Castle has been turned into a museum and is open to tourists. Its impressive neo-Gothic architecture, as well as a genuine touch of history on the towers and walls, are sure to delight numerous visitors.
