Kochłowice, Medieval motte-and-bailey castle in Kochłowice, Poland.
The fortification features an elevated mound covering 0.12 hectares with an irregular oval layout and remains of ramparts near two water streams.
First documented in 1287, the castle operated between the late 12th and 15th centuries, serving as a seat for local castellans from 1222 to 1260.
Archaeological findings in 1967 revealed pottery, metal objects, and a collection of Prague groschen silver coins with arrowheads discovered in 1818.
The site stands 250 meters northeast of Mikołów market square, adjacent to Św. Wojciecha street between the Jamna river and Przykopa stream.
The structure represents the sole remaining conical motte in the district, with historical maps showing it once had two mounds forming a figure-8 pattern.
