Museum Brzeg Silesian Piasts' Castle

You're standing at Brzeg Castle, high on a bluff just west of the Oder River. Locals sometimes call it the Silesian Wawel, after the famous royal castle in Kraków. Start with the façade. It's been described as one of the most magnificent Renaissance monuments in Central Europe. Then take a look at the gate tower, the old main entrance. Busts of the Piast princes were part of its decoration.
