About
The Castle of the Pomeranian Dukes (Polish: Zamek Książąt Pomorskich), often simply known as Darłowo Castle (Zamek w Darłowie), the only Gothic castle located in Darłowo, on the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea. The castle's layout is close to that of a square, with a tower measuring 24 metres in height. The castle's construction began in 1352, in the reign of Bogislaw V, whose reign began the alliance with the Hanseatic League. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the castle was used as a warehouse and a prison. In 1930, the castle was turned into a museum.
