Rynek 5, Baranów Sandomierski
The Armoury of the Sandomierz Knights' Banner operates by the market square in Baranów Sandomierski, close to the Renaissance castle of the Leszczyński family. It is a private collection of arms and props built up by a knightly banner, focused on showing the everyday life of a knight rather than on filling museum cases.
Several exhibition rooms hold pole and edged weapons — pikes, halberds, swords — as well as firearms and replicas of old cannon. They are complemented by costumes and pieces of armour referring to the warriors of Mieszko I and to late medieval knighthood. A separate section is devoted to the executioner's tools: stocks, shackles and headsman's swords.
Visits are guided, with the guide talking about weaponry, customs and medieval trades — a good formula for families with children. You can try on the costumes of old soldiers and noblewomen; the whole visit takes about an hour and is indoors, so it works in any weather.
