The Royal Castle in Sandomierz is one of the most important historical buildings in the city, located on a slope above the Vistula River. It was built in the 14th century on the initiative of Casimir the Great and for centuries served as a royal residence and the seat of starosts. In the 17th century it was partially destroyed by the Swedes and later transformed into a prison, which operated until the 1950s. Currently, it houses the District Museum, where you can see exhibitions on the history of Sandomierz, art and archaeology. From the castle hill there is a beautiful view of the Vistula and the city, which makes this place an attractive point on the tourist route.

Royal castle erected on the Vistula escarpment in Sandomierz - the original walls were built in the 14th century during the reign of Casimir III the Great. In the 16th century, during the reign of King Sigismund I the Old, the castle was dismantled, seriously modernized and expanded.

During the Swedish Deluge in the 17th century, the castle was almost completely ruined by being blown up. Only the western wing survived, which is the only remnant of its former glory.
