The Sanok Royal Castle ( Polish: Zamek Królewski w Sanoku ) is located in the city center of Sanok , only 100 m from the market square , at Zamkowagasse 1 on the high bank of the San . The former wooden castle, which was converted into a Renaissance castle in the middle of the 16th century, now houses the city's historical museum. It is the main attraction of Sanok.
The place was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1150, but it was not until 1339 that Georg II gave it city rights. On May 2, 1417, the Polish king Władysław II. Jagiełło married in the parish church of Sanok Elisabeth von Pilitza . After Wladyslaw's death in 1434, his last wife, Sophie Holszańska , retired to Sanok Castle. In 1523–1548 the Gothic castle was rebuilt in the Renaissance style . In 1549 another fire struck the city. In 1566, a great fire broke out and eventually left almost the entire city to rubble and ashes.

Historical museum in Sanok
A collection of icons is shown on several floors, and works by the contemporary artist Zdzisław Beksiński , born in Sanok, are on display on the top floor . In his will, Zdzisław Beksiński bequeathed all of his artistic oeuvre to the Historical Museum in Sanok, to which he had already given around 300 works during his lifetime. After the artist's death, the museum received around 20 of his last paintings, around a thousand photos and graphics, as well as all of his assets: apartments, bank facilities, computer equipment. The museum's collections were also expanded to include multimedia recordings, letters or films documenting the family life of the creator. The museum currently has the largest collection of the artist's works, comprising a few thousand pictures, reliefs, sculptures, drawings, graphics and photographs. In 2010 the Zdzisław Beksinski Gallery of Modern Art in Sanok was founded by the Polish Minister for Regional Development. The gallery is the only one of its kind in Europe and was the first in the world to open on May 19, 2012. Interesting is the icon collection in Sanok Castle, all icons that were made in south-eastern Poland between the 14th and 20th centuries, as well as the open-air museum in the Biała-Góra district , which is the only Ruthenian icon collection in Poland - after Saint Petersburg and Kiev the largest collection - owns.
