The Regional Museum in Głogówek is located in three historic buildings: the castle, the castle gate, and the guard-and-prison tower. In the castle, you can visit, among others, the Oppersdorff Room, where memorabilia of the former owners of the building and photographs of the castle's historical interiors are located, as well as the Beethoven Room, commemorating the composer's stay in the town in the autumn of 1806. Copies of Beethoven's portraits and publications popularizing his life and work are exhibited in this room. In one of the chambers, called the yellow parlor, you can view a collection of watercolors featuring urban landscapes painted by Alojzy Wierzgoń.
