Fuchû castle was an [[Asakura clan]] fortress in [[Echizen province]], located on the site of what is today Takefu town hall, within the city of [[Echizen, Fukui|Echizen]], [[Fukui prefecture]].
The castle, and the area around it, came to be called Fuchû after the Asakura's post as ''[[fuchu bugyo|fuchû bugyô]]''. They lost the castle, and their territory, to [[Oda Nobunaga]] in [[1575]]. He departed from [[Gifu castle]], and approached Fuchû from [[Tsuruga]], establishing a base at [[Ryumonji castle|Ryûmonji castle]] and destroying the [[Ikko-ikki|Ikkô-ikki]] there. Fuchû fell in the eighth month of that year; Nobunaga installed [[Maeda Toshiie]] as the castle's new lord, with an income of 100,000 ''[[koku]]''.
