NOWY SĄCZ CASTLE
Built in the 14th century in the northern part of the city, this building, which housed Polish monarchs during their visits to the region, was unfortunately destroyed by fire in 1616, and today only the Kowalska tower (Baszta Kowalska) remains. The castle was occupied by the Austrian authorities, who turned it into a barracks and a prison. It was partially renovated after Poland's independence and became a museum of the region, and during the German occupation, the castle was transformed into a military barracks and arms depot.
