The ruins of the castle in Czchów on the hill called the Tower on the Dunajec in the Brest poviat. The castle, expanded between the 13th and 16th centuries, protected a trade route along the Dunajec River and a customs chamber for goods imported from Hungary. It appears in written sources for the first time in 1356. Originally, the Romanesque defensive tower was located here; in the fourteenth century, a castle was built around it, which was the seat of the Czchów starostes; it was destroyed in the 17th century.

It was composed of a 1.2-2 m thick perimeter wall surrounding the edge of the hill and a free-standing cylindrical tower with a diameter of 12.5 m and a height of about... wyświetl cały opis

It was composed of a 1.2-2 m thick perimeter wall surrounding the edge of the hill and a free-standing cylindrical tower with a diameter of 12.5 m and a height of about 20 m. It was built in the southern part of the castle. A residential house was located by the north-eastern curtain, a rectangular hallway was adjoining from the south, while in the eastern part of the wall there was an entrance gate.

Zamek Czchów choć niewielki jest baaardzo klimatyczny. Polcam każdemu. Na zachętę mogę zaproponować obejrzenie krótkiego filmiku który go pokazuje z lotu ptaka: http://www.malopolska24.pl/index.php/2015/11/zamek-w-czchowie/
