The Lublin Castle (Polish: Zamek Lubelski) is a medieval castle in Lublin, Poland, adjacent to the Old Town district and close to the city center. It is one of the oldest preserved royal residencies in Poland, initially established by High Duke Casimir II the Just.[2] Its contemporary Gothic Revival appearance is largely due to a reconstruction undertaken in the 19th century.
