Zamek Książęcy in Kozuchów is currently the seat of the local Culture Center and library. Periodical cultural events also take place there, and in the former building of the Carmelite church there is a concert hall. The well maintained facility is the city's biggest attraction.
The history of the castle dates back to the Middle Ages, and the original building was built on the site of the former castle still in the 14th century on the initiative of representatives of the Głogów Piasts. The structure was confined to a two-story residential building, a square tower and curtain walls surrounding a rectangular courtyard. The whole building was surrounded by a moat with a drawbridge from the city side. Over time, the castle was incorporated into the defensive wall system. The unique facts connected with the history of the object include passing it as a fief to the Polish kings: Jan Olbracht, Zygmunt I the Old and Zygmunt II August.
After the expulsion of wealthy families, the Carmelites took over and adapted it to monastic functions. They also expanded the castle by adding new wings and a chapel. After the dissolution of the Order in 1810 the building served as a military unit, later belonged to the Evangelical community, which built the present church and finally used it for housing. At present, the site has cultural functions.
