Sion Castle, Gothic castle ruin in Chlístovice, Czech Republic.
Stone walls, arches, and stairs remain from the original Gothic structure, situated on a hill near the Chlístovice stream in Central Bohemia.
Jan Roháč of Dubá established the castle between 1426 and 1427, which was later destroyed after a four-month siege by Emperor Sigismund's forces in 1437.
The castle ruins stand as a testament to the military conflicts between Hussite forces and imperial armies during the religious wars of the 15th century.
The archaeological site is accessible from Kutná Hora, located approximately 15 kilometers away, with coordinates at latitude 49.8888 and longitude 15.2105.
Below the castle ruins in the Valley of Bylanka and Vrchlice, visitors can find a commemorative plaque featuring a relief of Jan Roháč of Dubá.
