CarcosaCon is a unique, international convention, its target audience being the most devoted fans of Call of Cthulhu and other games set in the world of the Cthulhu Mythos, created by H.P. Lovecraft, who wish to experience a memorable weekend full of dread and terror.
CarcosaCon takes place over three spring days full of activities curated for gamers, in the atmospheric Czocha Castle near the Polish-Czech border. It is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to meet legendary RPG creators, talk and play with them in a low-key environment. What else is there, waiting for the players? The halls and chambers of the Czocha castle are full of nooks and crannies, perfect for RPG sessions, a games room full of Cthulhu-related games, a tavern hall, original lectures, an exciting LARP, a gripping escape room and dungeons filled with never-before uncovered, terrifying secrets. All this within a scenic castle overlooking a tranquil, yet mysterious lake.
CarcosaCon is an international convention, where the primary language used is English. The aim of the convention is to combine game-playing as a hobby with a weekend getaway with friends. The participants may choose to stay in the rooms available in the Czocha Castle itself for the night or in other facilities located nearby. The accommodation options provided also include boarding.

Location
The Czocha Castle (German: Tzsocha) was erected in the mid-13th century to serve as a border stronghold. In the Middle Ages, it passed on from one distinguished family to another. Unfortunately, in the year 1793, a great fire devoured the Castle almost wholly, including the archives kept since the Middle Ages, which in turn resulted in the fact that many of its secrets remain buried… In 1902 the Castle was purchased for 1.5 million marks by a tobacco tycoon from Dresden, Ernst von Gutschow, who almost immediately began the remodeling process of the property. Rumour has it that during the 2nd World War, the Castle was home to the Abwehr Deciphering School. However, there is no evidence supporting this thesis. Gutschow lived in the castle until 1945, then died a year later under mysterious circumstances… You can learn more about the castle’s many mysteries during a guided tour! ATTENTION! Due to its historical nature and architecture, there are no facilities for the disabled in the Castle. There are no elevators or wheelchair ramps; instead, there is a fair amount of narrow staircases.
The Czocha Castle is located 3 km eastward from Leśna.

TESTIMONIALS
CarcosaCon distilled the essence of Cthulhu roleplaying into one weekend: knowledge, camaraderie, and a haunted castle. It was also one of the most professional, smooth-running first conventions I’ve ever attended.
CarcosaCon was a wonderful experience: from the stunning venue (perfect for a horror-based convention) to the enthusiastic attendees. It was lovely to be among such illustrious guests and such friendly gamers, all looked after by the excellent convention organisers.
I had a great time at CarcosCon – the castle is very atmospheric, the food was fantastic, and the people very welcoming. The whole convention is well organised and perfect for a weekend of great games, talks, and socialising – with the majority of the events in English. I had a wonderful time!
Call of Cthulhu thrives on atmosphere, isolation and shadows. CarcosaCon at Czocha Castle has all that, plus incredible hosts and wonderful fellow gamers from around the world. It is an unforgettable experience, and the best possible place to lose your sanity for a weekend!
Friendly, relaxed, and well-run, Carcosa Con would be a must-go game event even without its perfect venue. What seminar isn’t improved by having someone arrive through a secret passageway?
