Discover Sandomierz through our Museum and the regional archaeology, art, ethnography, history and literature, each presented within their own exhibition. Delve into the cellars and visit the turret to experience the views over the Vistula River, and feel the grandeur of the medieval castle. The treasures include a unique 12th century locally-made chess set and a copy of the crown likely worn by the Polish king Casimir the Great. Get to know the life of the writer Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz, whose muse was often Sandomierz herself. Already a prince seat in the 12th century, the first stone castle was founded by the king Casimir the Great in the 14th century. Rebuilt in Renaissance style in XVI century. In 1656 during the Swedish wars blown up and partly destroyed. In XIX and XX century the castle served, amongst others, as a prison. This grim chapter closed in 1986, when the castle took the mantle of District Museum. Mondays – free admission 1st Monday of the month – closed. Now ON-LINE
