We can find there insignia of royal power like crowns or scepters, famous coronation sword called “Szczerbiec” and rich collection of golden and silver dishes and jewelry. All of those exhibits remind of the times when Poland was one of the greatest European Powers.

Next to Royal Treasury there are extremely fascinating armory. Everyone who dreamed about being knight as a child will be delighted.

Among swords, shields, spears and cannons there are one of the most precious military exhibits – Armor of Polish Husar (trooper) from 16th century, with original wings which aroused fear among ranks of the enemy.
