About this place
Szydłowiec Castle is a Renaissance castle in the center of Szydłowiec, set on an island surrounded by water. Built in the 15th–16th centuries, it once served as the residence of the Radziwiłł family and now houses a regional museum. It is a good place for a short sightseeing stop with a historic atmosphere.
Na miejscu można liczyć przede wszystkim na:
- a preserved Renaissance layout with towers and an inner courtyard, which gives the castle its distinctive historic form
- the regional museum inside the building, where you can explore local heritage in a setting tied to the site’s past
- a waterside setting in the middle of town, with the castle standing on an island and easy to combine with a walk around the center of Szydłowiec
