Castles in Tarnowskie Góry means the Renaissance castle in Stare Tarnowice, the palace in Rybna and a medieval conical mound fort.
Only one of the three is a castle in the strict sense. The Rybna palace and the mound fort are included because they belong to the same story of residences and knightly seats in the town.
The castle in Stare Tarnowice, on Pyskowicka street, is a three-winged Renaissance building from the 16th century, with a courtyard, arcades and a portal dated 1545. After years of neglect in the state-farm period it was restored, and since 2011 it has housed the Centre of Ancient Art and Crafts.
Nearby, in the same district, is the conical mound fort in Stare Tarnowice: a late medieval mound with a moat from the 14th and 15th centuries, once the seat of the knights of Tarnowice, with a lime tree on top. It is listed among archaeological monuments. The palace in Rybna, on Powstańców Warszawskich street, is a late Baroque residence from 1796, now a municipal cultural institution that hosts classical music concerts and exhibitions.
