Tykocin Castle and Castle Restaurant

Highlight • Castle

The castle - then located in the border area with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania - was built in 1433 for the Lithuanian nobleman Jonas Goštautas, the governor of Trakai and Vilnius, in place of the original wooden fortress. In the 1560s, after the death of the last member of the Goštautas family, the castle became the property of King Sigismund II Augustus, who expanded it[4]. Construction was directed by Job Bretfus, a military engineer and royal architect. During the reign of Sigismund Augustus, the building served as a royal residence with an impressive treasury and library, as well as the main arsenal of the crown. In the years 1611-1632 the castle was again rebuilt and surrounded with bastions by Krzysztof Wiesiołowski, the starosta of Tykocin (Translated from Wikipedia).

Great Synagogue of Tykocin

Highlight • Religious Site

The first evidence of Jews in Tykocin dates back to 1522, when ten families from Grodno were settled there to promote trade. In 1576, the king granted a general right of settlement, which was confirmed in 1633. In 1800, about 70% of the city's population were Jews, and before the outbreak of World War II, this figure was still around 50%. After the German invasion in 1941, the remaining 1,400 Jews were murdered in the Tykocin massacre in the forest near the town of Łopuchowo.

The Great Synagogue in Tykocin, a Polish town in the Podlaskie Voivodeship, was built in 1642 on the site of a wooden predecessor from the 15th century. The deconsecrated synagogue on Kozia Street, next to the Small Synagogue, has been a protected cultural monument since 1957.

Along with the synagogue in the Belarusian city of Slonim, this is the only synagogue from the 17th century in which the supporting bimah has been preserved almost unchanged.[1]

The baroque-style synagogue was devastated by the German occupiers during World War II and used as a warehouse. The building was renovated in the 1970s.

Today, a Jewish museum is housed in the synagogue building (Wikipedia).

Highlight • Historical Site

The cemetery is already quite damaged. There's not much left of him. There are tombstones but not many.

Highlight • Monument

Tykocin is a town with 6,300 inhabitants in the Białostocki powiat of the Podlaskie Voivodeship. It is located about 20 kilometers west of Białystok in the Biebrza basin on the Narew River.

There is a nice location reference at the entrance to the town.
