Lidzbark Warmiński – Audio guide to the castle of the bishops

The guide to Lidzbark Warmiński focuses on its castle – a place where history intertwines with the beauty of Gothic architecture and the quiet majesty of Warmia.

Our audio guide to the castle in Lidzbark Warmiński takes you straight into the heart of history, to a site where, for centuries, key religious and political decisions were made.
For nearly 450 years, the Bishops of Warmia ruled from here. It was a center of literature, diplomacy, astronomical observation, and revolutionary ideas about the universe.

Within these walls, Nicolaus Copernicus once lived, and Ignacy Krasicki wrote fables that are still taught in schools today.

This is no ordinary tour – it’s a journey guided by a voice that leads you through the centuries.
You’ll learn how the castle survived wars, how its purpose changed over time, and how it was ultimately saved from ruin and transformed into a museum.

Lidzbark Warmiński is a city of history, but the castle is its very heart.
Our audio guide lets you explore it at your own pace – without an app, without rushing, but with knowledge that stays with you.

Lidzbark Warmiński – not just history, but people

It’s hard to overstate the importance of this place in the history of Warmia. This is where successive bishops resided, where the region was governed, and where religious, political, and even economic affairs were managed.

The castle was more than a fortress – it was a home, an office, a residence, and a workplace for hundreds of people. Silent servants, burgraves, stewards, cooks, clerks – each had their role. This is the focus of the episode titled “The Silent Majority”. You won’t find their names in history books, but without them, the castle wouldn’t have functioned for even a single day.

It’s also a place where the great minds of their time crossed paths: Copernicus, Krasicki, Kromer, and Dantyszek. Each of them left a mark. Some wrote books, others shaped diplomacy, managed vast estates, or brought exotic plants to the castle gardens.
