This castle is unusual in what it was used for: the townspeople lived inside it until the 1940s. It stands north of the İncesu stream at the township of Hacihamza, in the Kargı district of Çorum.
From the court records it appears to have been built in 1723 by Ahmed III. It is on the İstanbul-Samsun road at Hacihamza.
