Hello,

Today I want to present you some interesting building - District Museum in Sandomierz. I was there a few years ago.

This place has a very  interesting history. The castle was built on a high hill flooded by waters of the Vistula, which ensures effective defense against the enemy. Wooden castle was the  fortifiled headquarter. In 1138 under the will of Boleslaw Krzywousty, Sandomierz  was the district capital of the duchy and the castle was promoted to the permanent residence of the dukes, for example  Henryk Sandomierski.
Next, in the sixteenth century, King Zygmunt I Stary started the reconstruction of the Gothic castle into a Renaissance residence. During The Deluge the castle was almost all blown up. Then, in the years 1965-1986 authorities of Sandomierz carried out a thorough renovation and maintenance of the castle.

Now, few words about attractions. The museum has some worthwile selections:

- archaeological selection which contains the monuments from the Stone, Bronze, Iron, Middle Ages to Modern from the city.

-ethnographic  selection which contains the  objects of material culture, spiritual and social residents.

-art selection where  we can find the paintings collection of prints and drawings from the eighteenth century to the present.

-historical selection - monuments documenting the history of Sandomierz.

-in the rooms of the royal cuisine it is presented a collection of Goldsmith from various renowned European workshops.

I would highly recommend this musem. We can learn a lot about the history of Sandomierz.
