history

A castle was built in the 11th century to the south of settlements from the 7th to 8th centuries. The oldest mention is found as Чьрньскъ (Čьrnьsk, Tsch ( i ) rn ( i ) sk) in the Laurentiuschronik, a copy of the Russian Nestorchronik . In the 12th century, the castle was the seat of a Castellan and 1252 of one of the diocese of Poznan below Erzdiakonats . In the same century it became the seat of the Dukes of Mazovia . In 1350 the town received town charter, which was confirmed as Kulmer law in 1386 . Around 1400 the castle was enlarged and made into a castle. Despite the rise of nearby Warsaw , Czersk was still important as a residence for a while, but then fell behind. In 1869, like many other places in Poland, the Russian administration at that time withdrew its town charter. The monumental ruins of the castle have been preserved from its heyday. The collegiate church was replaced by a new neo-baroque building in 1805/06. The wall paintings in the church were created by Otto Linnemann from Frankfurt, drafts for this are in the Linnemann archive.
