Among the oldest royal seats in Poland, Lublin Castle was founded on its namesake hill in the 12th century by the High Duke Casimir II the Just. In that time it would have been a wooden structure before being given a circular keep at the start of the 13th century and stone walls during the reign of King Casimir III the Great in the 14th century. Th...
In the castle’s courtyard is a chapel that would have been raised at the same time as the keep, and was then remodelled at the beginning of the 15th century at the behest of King Władysław Jagiełło. This was when its interior was painted with Byzantine-style frescoes, completed in 1418 and proof of the cooperation between the Eastern Orthodox churc...
No sooner was it liberated by the Soviet army in 1944, this death camp in the southeast of Lublin became a museum, and by 1965 was elevated to become Poland’s first State Museum. Equally heartrending and interesting, the Majdanek is one of the Nazi regime’s most complete camps as the retreating German army had no time to demolish the facility. In j...
Based on the Swedish “Skansen” model this open air museum in the Sławinek District 15 minutes from the city centre is a living snapshot of historic rural life in the Lublin Province. The museum covers almost 30 hectares and gives you the sense of being in the countryside as you navigate lanes and paths between reconstructed thatched cottages, windm...
Formerly part of a city gate beside Lublin’s Jesuit College, this tower was extended to 60 metres by the Poland-based Italian architect Antonio Corazzi in 1819. At the very top is a tin finial of a cockerel, which is claimed to be able warn the city of approaching dangers. If you’re feeling fresh you can conquer to the 207 steps up a tight, winding...
Between the castle in the north and the Rynek (Market Square) in the south, Lublin’s Old Town is in a small but endearing package. Along the central Grodzka street there are houses in various states of repair, but even the ones with the patina of age have a certain charm. In summer there are ice cream shops, and terraces for bars and restaurants, a...
Lublin’s cathedral was constructed by the Jesuits at the turn of the 17th century and was one of Poland’s first Baroque buildings. The design mimics the Chiesa del Gesù in Rome and was conceived by the Italian Jesuit monk and architect Giovanni Maria Bernardoni. After the fire of 1719, Józef Meyer, the court painter of Augustus III of Poland coated...
The solemn Neoclassical building in the centre of the Rynek is Lublin’s old Crown Tribunal, which functioned from 1578 to 1794. King Stephen Báthory founded the Crown Tribunal as the highest appeals court in the Polish Kingdom, a place where the nobility would come from across Lesser Poland to thrash out legal disputes. Domenico Merlini, the Italia...
You’ll pass under this pale yellow gate on the way from the Rynek to Lublin Castle. The gate also once marked the entrance to the Jewish quarter of Lublin, and over the last couple of decades has been converted into a cultural centre for Lublin’s Polish-Jewish heritage. At its heart is the “Memory of the Place” exhibition, kindling recollections of...
In the southwest corner of the Old Town is the upper of Lublin’s two city gates, raised by King Casimir the Great in the aftermath of an attack by Tatars in 1341. The gate was the point of arrival for visitors from Kraków, some 300 kilometres to the southwest, and was used to sound the “Hejnal” trumpet call and as a watchtower to spot fires. The to...
- Lublin is beautiful. The Old Town in Lublin is just stunning and so charming! Cobbled streets, winding lanes, beautiful corners, and colorful townhouses with many details – you can find them all in Lublin.
- Lublin has many cool quirks. Did you know that Lublin is one of only three cities in Poland that have trolleybusses (others are Gdynia and Tychy)? Or that you can find an apiary right in the center of the city (at the rooftop of Centre for the Meeting of Cultures)?
- Lublin has a great culinary scene. I’m impressed by how great Lublin is doing on the culinary scene. You can find there so many great restaurants, cafes and bars that making a choice where to eat or drink might be a bit challenging.
- Lublin has a great street art scene. Another reason why I enjoy Lublin so much is the great street art scene. Besides the hidden yards and poetry on the walls that I’ve already mentioned, you can find some really good murals all over the city.
Lublin, city, capital of Lubelskie województwo (province), eastern Poland, on the Bystrzyca River. Founded as a stronghold in the late 9th century, the settlement grew up around the castle and received town rights in 1317. It served as a joint meeting ground for Poland and Lithuania, and in 1569.
