FOR FAMILIES

CASTLE GAME "WHO HAS BEEN HERE"

Visit the castle on your own and find out which historical figures stayed in Czersk castle in centuries past. The GAME CARD gives you clues that will guide you through the castle and help you discover the people who had links with Czersk down the ages.
 

You can download the GAME CARD at the castle ticket office or print it yourself from the GAME CARD file. 

QUEST "ON THE TRAIL OF MEDIEVAL CZERSK"

Go beyond the castle grounds and discover the ghostly echo of old Czersk. In the Middle Ages, the town developed next to the castle. Nothing remains of the old buildings ─ destroyed during the wars and invasions ─ but the historical medieval town layout has been preserved. By following the instructions on the QUEST CARD, you can walk along the same streets that people walked on in Czersk centuries ago. 

Go questing and discover your cultural heritage on your own, hunting the past out in the field ─ great fun for the whole family, young and not so young.

QUEST CARD can be downloaded at the castle ticket office or printed out yourself from the file QUEST CARD
