The ruins of the castle of the Masovian princes in Czersk (Polish: Zamek książąt mazowieckich w Czersku), or Czersk Castle for short, are located in Czersk in the Piaseczyński district on the Vistula in the Masovian Voivodeship in Poland. The moated castle is located on a hill on the left bank of the Vistula.

The castle ruins that exist today are based on a brick building from the 14th century. Until then, there had been a wooden fortress on this site. The ruins consist of two round towers and a Gothic square tower, the latter serving as the entrance. The round tower to the east was used as a prison. Access was from the wall walkway, from here the prisoners were lowered through a hole to the floor of the tower, which was 10 meters below. The west tower housed the weapons and ammunition chambers. All towers had wooden pointed roofs. The wall sections connecting the towers, originally 7 to 8 meters high, have been partially removed down to the ground. The foundations of the ramparts are up to 5.5 meters underground, and the thickness of the walls is 1.80 to 1.85 meters. Several palace-like buildings were probably built in the castle under the Polish Queen Bona, the wife of Sigismund I. After Bona left the country, the castle's structural decline began (Wikipedia).
