    In IX on a high embankment on the Vistula, a fortified castle with a brick church was built, defending Mazovia against Lithuanian and Ruthenian invasions. In the twelfth century Czersk was the seat of the castellany - and from the 13th century in the capital seat of the Piast princes from the Mazovian line. After the death of Konrad Mazowiecki, the Czerskie Principality was established. The descendants of Prince Konrad are Siemowit I, Konrad II, Trojden, Siemowit III, and Konrad III, Rudy and Janusz I - they all wore the title of the prince of Czersk.

      One of the most fascinating stories associated with the castle is the introduction by the prince Trojden in 1329 to the Mazovian heraldry of the green dragon - a wrangler - known from the pennants of King Arthur. This dragon is associated with the figure of Magnus, who ruled Czersk 200 years ago. Magnus was ... the son of the last king of England - before the conquest of North America - Harold II, Earl of the Duchy of Wessex, whose coat of arms was just wyvern. Harold II was killed in the Battle of Hastings, October 14, 1066, Magnus was in Mazovia several months after the battle.
      The wyywerna is also a dragon from which a Warsaw mermaid has been created over the centuries.
      The castle was destroyed during the Deluge of the Swedes and it did not rise again from the fall.

      The castle is available every day from 8-15 am, admission 5, - PLN

        The castle of the Masovian dukes in Czersk is also called the castle of the green dragon. Here lived the son of the last Anglo-Saxon king before the conquest of England by the Normans. More about it;)
        Czersk was in the Middle Ages the seat of the Mazovian dukes and Haptstadt Ostmasowien. Later, the castle became property of the Polish kings. In the 11th century, a fortress with a brick church was built on a Vistula river. She protects the surrounding land from Lithuanian and Russian invasions. In the 12th century, Czersk was the seat of a castellany and, from the 13th century, the capital of the Piast dukes of the Mazovian dynasty.
