Czocha Castle
Zamek Czocha
A medieval castle in Lower Silesia, Poland, standing on a rocky outcrop by a reservoir and famous for its secret passage legends and wizard-school events.
Czocha Castle sits on a rocky outcrop by the Kwisa River in Lubań County, Lower Silesia, Poland. Built in the 13th century and remodeled many times, its walls, towers and drawbridge remain well preserved. The castle is known for hidden doors, secret passages and legends, and guided tours lead visitors to concealed rooms. It is also the venue for one of Poland's large-scale role-playing events themed on a school of magic, and it has served as a filming location for several films. The castle has a hotel and a restaurant. Entry to the interior requires joining a guided tour, which takes about 1 hour. It is about 40 minutes by car from Görlitz. Public transport is limited, so driving is recommended.
