Unfortunately, visitors to Olsztyn today cannot tour the castle’s interiors. The Museum of Warmia and Mazury and the castle exhibitions are currently closed due to extensive renovation and modernization work. The project is expected to take around three years. For the time being, therefore, we can admire the castle only from the outside, walking around its grounds and imagining the place where Copernicus lived, worked, and carried out his astronomical observations.
