Castle of Warmian Bishops in Olsztyn
Olsztyn Castle (Castle of the Warmian Cathedral Chapter) is a 14th–16th century Brick Gothic episcopal stronghold in the centre of Olsztyn, northern Poland. Built around a single wing around an inner courtyard, it features a prominent eastern tower and raised brick curtain walls; the site later became the Museum of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. Nicolaus Copernicus served here in the early 16th century and an astronomical instrument he made is preserved in the castle.
