Niepołomice Castle in Niepołomice, Poland, is a historic Renaissance-style castle originally constructed in the 14th century under the reign of King Casimir III the Great. Situated near the Niepołomice Forest, the castle served as a royal hunting lodge and a defensive stronghold. Over centuries, it has been expanded and renovated, particularly during the Renaissance period, which added Italian architectural influences. Today, the castle stands as a cultural and historical monument, housing a museum, art galleries, and hosting various cultural events.
