Address: ul. Zamkowa , Drohiczyn

Castle Mountain in the historical Drohiczyn in Podlasie is a very picturesque place, because it rises above the city on one side, but more importantly, on the other, it towers above the beautifully meandering Bug. Therefore, the view from the Castle Hill on the Bug and the forested plateau is magnificent, but the landscape from the Bug River to the hill is just from the castle names, because today there is no trace of the stronghold here, only the name of the street and the mountain says that it once stood here a very important castle. It was built in the fourteenth century and earlier there was a wooden castle here. The castle in Drohiczyn housed the town court and the seat of the royal staroste. The building, however, fell into ruin during the Swedish invasion and was not rescued later, especially since the Bug did its destruction here, washing up the mountain, which was once much larger than today. On Castle Hill in 1928, on the 10th anniversary of regaining independence, a memorial obelisk stood. Older inhabitants of Drohiczyn still remember the descent to the dungeons on Góra, but today there are no traces, but the area is very well developed and well maintained. Stairs lead to the low peak of Castle Mountain, and a convenient viewpoint was created on the mountain for the already mentioned wonderful meanders of the Bug. The panorama of the natural surroundings really impresses here.
