Rzeszów Castle in Poland was founded by Mikołaj Spytek Ligęza, who built a motte-and-bailey castle near the end of the 16th century and expanded it into a palazzo in fortezza in 1620. That work was never finished. The infobox gives 1458 and Renaissance, which the text does not support. The text names no style but describes New-Italian-style moats and bastions.
The Lubomirski family inherited the castle in 1637, and Tylman van Gameren began a reconstruction around 1682 on a square plan with four two-level wings. The text says most building works were by van Gameren and Karol Henryk Wiedemann. The 1620 works used stone and brick on a loess hill.
In 1820 it became a courthouse and prison. It was demolished at the start of the 20th century and rebuilt from 1902 to 1906. Prison use ended in 1981, and it is now the seat of the provincial court. The article gives no hours.
