Zamek w Tykocinie

The Tykocin Castle is a fascinating 15th century monument that was once the royal residence of Sigismund II Augustus.

After careful reconstruction in the 21st century, the castle impresses with its Gothic style with four cylindrical towers. Visitors can enjoy museum exhibitions on the history of the fortress and the Order of the White Eagle.

The prison tower offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area. History buffs will appreciate that the castle once housed a treasury with valuable jewels, including a ruby of Charles V and a medal with the Habsburg eagle.
