MY HOLIDAY in MY COUNTRY - POLAND

Historical Castle of the Pomeranian Dukes

 

Darlowo is a small seaside town on the Baltic Coast and what can probably be described as its highlight is the Castle of Pomeranian Dukes. From the tower you can enjoy extensive views over the town and the local countryside. Its original interiors house the museum of Darlowo's history, and it includes many interesting items such as paintings, sculpture, furniture, weapons, objects made from amber, maps and much else. Beautifully restored, the museum gives one insight into those past times.
The Castle of the Pomeranian Dukes is the only Gothic castle located on the coast of the Baltic Sea in Poland. The castle's formation is close to that of a square, with a tower measuring 24 metres in height. The castle's construction began in 1352 and was built during the reign of Bogusław V and Elżbieta - daughter of Casimir III the Great. Although this was only a secondary residence of the House of Pomerania, the castle was enlarged and modernised in the fifteenth and sixteenth century, becoming a worth royal residence.
