  • 5/5 Miles M. 1 year ago on Google • 1296 reviews
    Firstly, to my surprise & delight, entrance is free on a Tuesday. If you go up to the top of the Tower, onto the outside terrace, you get good views of the Old Town and beyond. A lift takes you up 6 floors and then it's just a few steps to the top. The exhibition of artifacts itself is very good and I particularly like the way they've designed the lighting, many glass cabinets of internal lighting or spotlights directed from high above. This really cuts down or eliminates back refection in the glass which often interfers with viewing/photographing items. The collection covers furniture, ceramics, glass & metal, weapons, jewellery etc. Items presented here cover a period from middle ages to modern times. The other thing to mention is that information on the exhibits is also given in English.

    First of all - you should visit this place. Second - whoever put the Mario sign there is a genius and should get an award. This castle is a full replica, new building, very nicely made, very positive vibes, has two floors with a 360 panorama, holographic images, trophies in an exposition, historical data, place to sit and paint. I loved it and wasn't even listed as a top attraction. The entrance fee is as low as 4 euro, I felt like I'm in Bulgaria

    A very beautiful gallery across two large floors and multiple rooms, of applied arts in Polish history. Also a two tier viewing gallery with great views over Poznan. A lift takes you to the fully enclosed 6th floor (perfect for serious height phobics as I am) and steps up to an open terrace on the top of the tower (which my wife says is great!)

    (Translated by Google) The permanent exhibition has a huge collection, the sightseeing route is well planned, unfortunately the pleasant moments were interrupted by the guards, who had very lively conversations with each other. (Original) wystawa stała odznacza się ogromną kolekcją, fajnie rozplanowana trasa zwiedzania, niestety miłe chwile były przerywane przez panie pilnujące, które prowadziły ze sobą bardzo żywe konwersacje.

    Historical site at Poznan, castle is in good shape and has mini collection of exhibits from that era. There is a entrance fees and locker available to put your belonging, you can take camera with you, one can go till top of castle and take nice pictures of Poznan city. This can be done in 1 to 2 hours, walkable from old town square.

    Definitely it's wortht visiting here. Terrace on the top of the castle (tower?) you can see the great view of whole city. In our case, we made sightseeing plan here - where to go, which places we want to visit and so on. It would be more nice if we could have some coffee here 😀

  • 5/5 Mateusz J. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Worth a visit, several floors of exhibits and the castle tower overlooking the old town. There is an elevator in the tower so there is no problem with the entrance for the elderly. (Original) Warto odwiedzić, kilka pięter eksponatów i wieża zamkowa z widokiem na stare miasto. W wieży jest winda więc nie ma problemu z wejściem dla osób starszych.

  • 5/5 Olga O. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Touching history is always impressive. Expositions from the 13th century to the middle of the past. The view of the city from the observation deck will not leave you indifferent either. (Original) Прикосновения к истории всегда впечатляют. Экспозиции от 13 века до середины прошлого. Обзор города со смотровой площадки тоже не оставит равнодушным.

  • 2/5 George Y. 3 years ago on Google
    To be honest I wouldn’t bother going to this museum if you only speak English. No audio guides available and the staff were actually quite rude. The only saving grace is the observation deck which has a nice view over Poznan.

    (Translated by Google) Worth seeing and very interesting. This is a very beautiful historical place, located in the old town of Posen / Poznan, very well maintained and well attended. The castle is definitely to be seen on a city tour. I liked it very much. (Original) Sehenswert und sehr interessant. Das ist ein sehr schöner historischer Ort, gelegen in der Altstadt von Posen/Poznan, sehr gepflegt und gut besucht. Bei einer Stadtbesichtigung ist das Schloss auf jeden Fall anzuschauen. Mit hatte es sehr gut gefallen.

  • 5/5 Peta W. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a brilliant exibit of applied art from middle-ages to modern day related to the region of Europe. This shows the styles of art and design through history - with a particular focus on the region of Poland. If you are interested in history this explains the use of technology to create these items showing design to reflect the views of the time. Loved it.

  • 5/5 S O. 4 years ago on Google
    The tower offers incredible views of Poznan Stare Miasto and beyond. My advice would be to visit at sunset and take in the dramatic views. The museum has a range of interesting local information and post war modern art and design. Well worth the price of admission.

    We went on a Sunday and I don't know why but the staff told us it was free entry that day. Very nice view from the roof and a lot of interesting items throughout the museum. Cloakrooms staff were rude, but everyone else working there was lovely.

  • 5/5 Khaldoun N. 4 months ago on Google • 86 reviews
    Cute museum of art and collection from different periods of time and of various kinds, but the highlight is the view from top of the tower that is above all of the city and allows a great view.

  • 5/5 Tom J. 8 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    Great museum in the heart of Poznań with the rebuilt castle. It displays collections from a variety of periods during history such as the Romantic era, Rococo era and Classical era; each with a room to itself featuring a wide array of items and period art.

  • 5/5 Klaus W. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best musuems I've ever seen! Not only located in a splendid reconstruction but curated with such a great taste and attention to detail. This could easily take you all day if you don't want to snap and go but rather take in all it has to offer. There are detailed description in both Polish and English not only for ALL the items but you will find ample introductions for people who want to learn. The organization of the whole thing is chronological and you can't get lost. Everything is modern too, a perfect experience blending in old and new

  • 5/5 allie 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to visit! Exhibitions from different time periods, showpieces have descriptions both in Polish and English :) Also tickets are at a huge discount for students (only 1 zł)!!

    An amazing castle. Must visit

  • 5/5 Heorhii 4 years ago on Google
    Great! Good staff and atmosphere! The castle has access to the terraces, from which the beautiful view of the city opens. There is also a wonderful museum. the oldest royal residence in Poland, founded by the Polish king Przemysl II. The construction of the fortress lasted from the end of the XIII to the middle of the XV century. The castle was partially destroyed during the Northern War and rebuilt at the end of the 18th century. The buildings finally died during the Second World War. At the beginning of the 21st century, the castle was rebuilt in the alleged (albeit far from reality) forms of the 16th century. If you visit Poznan you MUST be here!

  • 3/5 Jenny S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice views from the tower.

  • 5/5 Artur C. 2 years ago on Google
    This museum was just recently renovated, located a few minutes away from the Rynek. When you have visitors from out of town, this should be the first place to go to see the panoramic view of Poznań from very high above. It offers breathtaking views of the entire city. On the way up, you can learn about the history of Poznań and its surrounding areas. It also gives you a glimpse of what the city looked like centuries ago (building walls, pavement and so on). It gets crowded on weekends so it is suggested to visit on a weekday. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Emi H. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Krystyna B. 1 year ago on Google
    There is a great museum here on a number of floors accessible to wheelchairs. Everything is signed in Polish and English. The tower, which also has a lift, has great views over Poznań, from all four sides. On Tuesdays, entrance is free.

    Take lift to the top for great 360° views of Poznan.

  • 4/5 Garrett F. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice museum in a rebuilt version of the old castle. It's obviously modern looking but the top observation deck is a great place to get a view of the city.

  • 4/5 David S. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately the castle was closed when I was in Poznan for the 15 August Bank Holiday. Looked impressive from outside though! It's obviously reconstructed, but hey, a castle is a castle.

  • 5/5 Z N. 1 year ago on Google
    We visited on a Tuesday and were pleasantly surprised that it was free admission. Brilliant museum and viewing deck. We thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits. Helpful, friendly staff too.

  • 4/5 Альона �. 1 year ago on Google
    We didn't visit inside. Only garden. The view is nice and you can make a photo with a huge dragonfly

  • 4/5 Adrian M. 1 year ago on Google
    The observation deck at the top has a great view of the square. From up here you can barely even see the construction happening in the square, so that's an added plus.

  • 5/5 Parisa K. 4 years ago on Google
    Shame the inside decor has been striped back to a white blank canvas but what they have on display is wonderful some truly beautiful pieces and excellent information on them translated into English.

  • 4/5 Tomáš R. 5 years ago on Google
    There is a nice view of the city from the tower, museum exhibitions are also interesting.

  • 3/5 Sandra P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I was expecting a slightly different interior (without prior viewing of photos on the internet), but still worth seeing, Tuesdays mean free admission, there is also a temporary exhibition to visit, this one is always paid. Very nicely classified floors for different eras and rooms with different uses (armory, ballroom) (Original) Spodziewałam się nieco innego wnętrza (bez wcześniejszych oględzin zdjęć w internecie), ale mimo tego warto zobaczyć, wtorki oznaczają wstęp wolny, do zwiedzenia jest jeszcze wystawa czasowa, ta już zawsze płatna. Bardzo ładnie poklasyfikowane piętra na różne epoki i pomieszczenia o różnym zastosowaniu (zbrojownia, sala balowa)

  • 3/5 Elżbieta x. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting exhibitions, some too modest. Lookout tower with a nice panorama of the city. Unfortunately, there are no descriptions of what we are watching. For visitors, information would be useful, e.g. with a photo of what they can see from a given window. (Original) Ciekawe ekspozycje, niektóre zbyt skromne. Wieża widokowa z ładną panoramą miasta. Niestety brakuje opisów co oglądamy. Dla przyjezdnych przydałaby się informacja np ze zdjęciem co widzą z danego okna.

  • 2/5 hotel66de 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting experience. Lots of wonderful exhibits. Unfortunately, only a few explanations and explanations of the connections can be found. The purpose of the exhibition is to “look at exhibits” rather than to understand exhibits and contexts. It's a shame, museum education has half a century to catch up. There is no mention of the fact that the city and its buildings also have a German (more precisely: Prussian) history. This and the proximity to the German border would be a good reason to add texts in German. One does not want to overdo it with the hospitality towards the neighbors in the west. Almost funny: The Bauhaus style was not developed in Dessau from 1919, but in Poland in the 1950s. Alternative facts made in Poland. See photos! The layman is amazed and the expert is amazed! (Original) Interessante Erfahrung. Viele wunderbare Exponate. Leider sind nur wenige Erklärungen und Erklärungen der Zusammenhänge zu finden. Sinn der Ausstellung ist eher “Exponate angucken“ als Exponate und Zusammenhänge zu verstehen. Schade, die Museumspädagogik hat ein halbes Jahrhundert Aufholbedarf. Dass Stadt und Gebäude auch eine deutsche (genauer: preußische) Geschichte haben, findet keine Erwähnung. Dies und die räumliche Nähe zur deutschen Grenze wären ein guter Grund, Texte zusätzlich in deutscher Sprache anzubringen. Mit der Gastfreundschaft gegenüber den Nachbarn im Westen will man es wohl nicht übertreiben. Beinahe witzig: Der Bauhaus-Stil wurde nicht ab 1919 in Dessau entwickelt, sondern in den 1950er Jahren in Polen. Alternative facts made in Poland. Siehe Fotos! Da staunt der Laie und der Fachmann wundert sich!

  • 4/5 Maciej A. 3 years ago on Google

Lots of exhibits in spacious rooms, I highly recommend visiting the tower and the museum of applied arts there. (Original) Pięknie odrestaurowany zamek, fantastyczne widoki z wieży widokowej, wygodne dotarcie na szczyt windą lub schodami.

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, I had no chance to visit anymore, but although I got to the hill from the outside, I could admire the buildings and the garden. In my opinion, everything, as befits Wielkopolska, is beautifully maintained and exposed - I can only guess that the center looks equally impressive (Original) Niestety nie miałam już możliwości zwiedzenia ale choć z zewnątrz dotarłam na wzgórze i mogłam podziwiać budowle i ogród. W mojej ocenie wszystko jak to przystało na Wielkopolskę pięknie zadbane i wyeksponowane - mogę się jedynie domyślać że środek prezentuje się równie imponująco

  • 4/5 Bartosz A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I give 4 stars because the building is not old. But it was fully deserved, because it was rebuilt quite well. It is nice that the city and the state care for the monuments and they are subject to renovation or complete reconstruction, as in this case. (Original) Daję 4 gwiazdki bo budowla nie jest stara. Za to w pełni zasłużone, bo odbudowano ją całkiem zacnie. Cieszy fakt, że miasto i państwo dbają o zabytki i są one poddane renowacji lub całościowej odbudowie jak w tym wypadku.

  • 5/5 Kwiatek K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The castle would have received a rating of 4, but thanks to the very friendly service, the rating was 5. It could contain more exhibits, as befits a royal castle. On the plus side, the staff, very helpful with an empathetic approach and the observation tower. (Original) Zamek otrzymalłby ocenę 4, lecz dzięki bardzo milej obsłudze ocena skończyła na 5. Mogłoby znaleźć sie w nim wiecej eksponatów, jak na zamek królewski przystalo. Na plus obsluga, bardzo pomocna z empatycznym podejściem oraz wieża widokowa.

  • 3/5 Finom 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A museum like a museum. Exhibits behind showcases, with or without a signature next to it. Quite a lot of exhibits, but everything is boring. This museum does not stand out from the rest. It would be nice to add something more interactive or a guided tour at specific times that would be able to tell more than what is written on the badges (what kind of subject it is). Plus for entering the observation deck. It would be very useful to be able to enter it only at a lower ticket price without visiting the museum. (Original) Muzeum jak muzeum. Eksponaty za gablotami, z podpisem obok lub bez niego. Eksponatów całkiem sporo, ale wszystko wieje nudą. To muzeum nie wyróżnia się niczym na tle innych. Przydałoby się dodać coś bardziej interaktywnego lub zwiedzanie z przewodnikiem w konkretnych godzinach, który byłby w stanie opowiedzieć coś więcej niż jest napisane na plakietkach (co to za przedmiot). Plus za wejście na taras widokowy. Bardzo by się przydała możliwość wejścia tylko na niego w niższej cenie biletu bez zwiedzania muzeum.
