[ENG] While visiting castle grounds in Pultusk you will for sure notice three cannons displayed in the courtyard. Each of them is heavily decorated but the most noticeable detail is a soldier figure and the year 1754 engraved in metal. There is almost nothing about them on the Internet. Although the hotel located in the castle mentioned on its website that it can welcome its guests with cannonade on special occasions. So I guess they are still in use!

W Internecie prózno szukac informajci o tych armatach. Jednakowoz hotel, który miesci sie w zamku, wspomina na swojej stronie, ze moze powitac gosci kanonada na specjalne okazje. Wyglada wiec na to, ze armaty sa uzywane!
