#NicolausCopernicus published his mathematical proofs for #heliocentrism in 1543. In the wake of #GalileoGalilei's trial for having proven #Copernicus right, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1616 the book was placed on the #Vatican's #IndexOfForbiddenBooks, banning it for #Catholics.

Monument to Nicolaus Copernicus, Olsztyn, Poland

Nicolaus Copernicus was the administrator of the common property of the Warmia cathedral chapter. He resided in Olsztyn castle twice. The first time was when he served a three-year term as administrator, from November 8, 1516 to November 9, 1519. The second period of Copernicus’ stay in Olsztyn was connected with the last war with the Teutonic Order. After the plunder of Frombork by the Teutonic Knights, Copernicus sought refuge in Olsztyn castle, and then administered the chapter’s property from January 23, 1520 to the end of October 1521. The administrator in these areas managed the land, exercised judicial power and was responsible for tax matters.

Within the walls of Olsztyn castle, Copernicus wrote the text of the first book of “De revolutionibus…” - the work of his life, which “stopped the Sun and pushed the Earth from its foundations”.

The Castle of the Warmia Chapter, Olsztyn, Poland

In the 1470s, a cylindrical, 40-meter tower with a square base was built. A drawbridge on the side of the Łyna River led to the castle, which was surrounded by defensive walls and a moat. The castle walls were partially connected to the city walls, making the castle a powerful bastion defending the town.

The castle belonged to the Warmian Chapter, which was under the military protection of the Teutonic Order until 1454. In 1410, the castle surrendered without a fight to the Polish troops of Janusz I of Masovia. After a few years, it briefly returned to the Teutonic Knights. During the Thirteen Years’ War (1455), the castle in Olsztyn was captured by mercenary troops commanded by Jerzy von Schlieben, serving the Order. In 1466, Olsztyn along with Warmia was incorporated into Poland.

In the 16th century, the castle interiors were rebuilt. From 1516 to 1521, the administrator of the chapter’s estates was Nicolaus Copernicus, who in 1520 led the castle’s defense during the last Polish-Teutonic war.

During the Swedish Deluge, the castle was looted. After the First Partition of Poland, it was taken over by the Prussian administration. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the castle was rebuilt and connected with the city.

Between 1909 and 1911, the castle was designated as the residence of the East Prussian regional president. Today, it houses the Museum of Warmia and Mazury as well as the Knightly Brotherhood with an exhibition dedicated to Copernicus. On the castle’s cloister, you can admire a handcrafted, experimental astronomical table of Nicolaus Copernicus.
