You can find a set of wooden figures/statues of people (man and women) made by local artists. Hmm... I have a few ones at my appartment but from another region of Poland.
What to buy: Wooden statues/figures.
What to pay: Generally prices are fixed but... try to get a discount if you buy more. These wooden figures on my pictures (about 30 cm, 1 feet tall) costed approx. 20-40 PLN (5-10 $/Euro before... discount :-) or more - depends on an artist. Expensive? I don't think.

This store/shop is the most official (although as i know it's privately owned) store of the Castle museum. You can find a lot of local craft (mainly hand made wooden figures), maps, guide books, postcards etc.

Baltic amber is fossil resin produced by pine trees which grew in Northern Europe about 50 million years ago. The resin was washed out of the forest floor by large rivers and transported south towards the sea. In the course of time the resin was transformed to amber due to processes of polymerisation and oxidation.
Amber is used by many artists who create sometimes small pieces of art from it. You can choose among hundreds of various amber necklaces.

There are many artists working with amber in Poland. Works of Polish jewellers seem to be original and interesting in the European context.
So, if you like you can choose among thousands of hand-made amber rings and amber ear-rings.
What to buy: Amber ring.
What to pay: From about 10 Euros/US$, larger ones: approx. 20-30 Euros/US$.

You can buy a gun - hmm... not real, it's forbidden without a special permission = doctor's examination, passing the exam on law reffering to use a gun plus practical exam on shooting. Hmm... these old guns don't look medieval hehe.
