This representative building was erected by Boguslaw V in the second half of the 14th century. The castle was built over a period of 20 years and was so impressive that it was given the respectable name of Castle of the Pomeranian Dukes.
Originally a Gothic castle, it was successively expanded by its hosts. The first castle was planted on a square plan with a 23-meter high defensive tower. Subsequent hosts carried out expansions in the eastern and western directions, adding wings that served not only defensive functions, but also expanded the living space of the expanding ducal court.
By the 1930s the castle was deteriorating. It was not until 1929 that adaptation work was initiated to prepare the building to serve as a museum. Without consultation with historians or archaeological research, renovations and minor reconstruction were carried out. It was not until after World War II, which did not take its toll on the walls, that a decent renovation was carried out with the help of archaeologists and conservationists.
In the museum, tourists can see relics of Pomeranian folk art, antique wooden sculptures, in the knights' hall there is an exhibition of sacred art, and there is also a place for the art of contemporary artists. Be sure not to pay attention only to the exhibits. The castle itself is an invaluable monument, and the restored rooms can take you back to the atmosphere of the Middle Ages.
