Royal Castle, originally built between 1598 and 1619, was the site of the drafting of Europe's first modern constitution and the world's second written national constitution—the Constitution of 1793. (The world's earliest written constitution is the United States Constitution of 1788). Historically, Royal Castle has been repeatedly damaged and looted by Swedish, Brandenburg, German, and Russian troops. It suffered severe damage during World War II but was rebuilt to its original design after the war.
