About the place
The emperor personally influenced details of the design. The most splendid interior was the Throne Room, modelled on Byzantine basilicas, with statues of eight German emperors.
In 1939 Franz Böhmer rebuilt the interiors for Adolf Hitler and the governor Arthur Greiser. Hitler's study was modelled on his office in Berlin, although Hitler probably never came here.
Today the castle houses the Zamek Culture Centre: a cinema, galleries, and concert and theatre stages.
What to see
Hitler's study, furnished in 1939 on the site of the former imperial chapel in the tower, with an electrically heated balcony. In the Rose Courtyard stands the Lion Fountain, modelled on the fountain in the Patio de los Leones at the Alhambra in Granada.
According to the PIK Poznań service, the audio guide offers routes in Polish, English and Ukrainian, a route for children (aged 7–14), a step-free route and a route with a Polish Sign Language interpreter (in the app). This is older information, so please confirm the current routes with the CK Zamek information desk.
Good to know
On 11 November a fair is held in front of the castle during the St Martin Street Name Day celebrations.
