Czocha Castle is a defensive castle located on a granite cliff overlooking Lake Leśniańskie near Leśna, Poland. It was built between 1241-1247 by the Czech king Wenceslaus II as a border fortress. The castle features a well outside called "the well of the disloyal woman" where unfaithful wives were allegedly thrown to their death. Some report seeing the ghost of a wife falsely accused who was thrown down the well. Today the castle contains a hotel and conference center and hosts an annual knight's tournament.
