    This representative building was erected by Bogusław V in the second half of the 14th century. The castle was built within 20 years and was so impressive that it received the respectable name of the Pomeranian Dukes' Castle.

    Originally a Gothic castle, it was successively expanded by its owners. The first castle was based on a square plan with a 23-meter high defensive tower. Successive hosts carried out extensions in the eastern and western directions, adding wings that not only served defensive functions, but also enlarged the living space of the expanding princely court.

    Until the 1930s, the castle fell into disrepair. It was not until 1929 that adaptation works were initiated to prepare the building for the function of a museum. Without consulting historians or archaeological research, renovation and minor reconstruction were carried out. Only after World War II, which did not leave its mark on the walls, a proper renovation was carried out with the help of archaeologists and conservators.

    In the museum, tourists can see the monuments of Pomeranian folk art, historic wooden sculptures, in the knights' hall there is an exhibition of sacred art, there is also a place for the art of contemporary artists. Remember not to pay attention only to the exhibits. The castle itself is an invaluable monument, and the restored rooms can take us back to the atmosphere of the Middle Ages.
