Bedzin

Będzin is best known within Poland for Będzin Castle, a Gothic fortress that rises above the old town. The Black Przemsza River runs through this city in the Dąbrowa Basin, on the edge of the Upper Silesian urban area. Built in the 14th century during the reign of Casimir the Great, the castle helped guard the historic frontier between the Kingdom of Poland and Silesia. Its stone tower and walls now house a museum, while the nearby Mieroszewski Palace recalls the residences of local nobility. Będzin also has an important Jewish heritage, shaped by a community once central to local commercial life.
