The Imperial Castle in Poznań, Poland, also known as Zamek Cesarski, is a historic and architectural landmark that was constructed in the early 20th century. Commissioned by German Emperor Wilhelm II, the castle was completed in 1910 and designed by architect Franz Schwechten. The castle exhibits a mix of Neo-Romanesque and Gothic Revival architectural styles, reflecting the imperial aspirations of the German Empire during that period. After World War I and the subsequent re-establishment of Poland's independence, the castle underwent several modifications and served various purposes, including housing government offices and cultural institutions.
