Žebrák Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Točník, Czech Republic.
Žebrák Castle is a medieval ruin sitting on a rocky ridge above Stroupinský Creek with two circular towers at 344 meters elevation. The structure was built at this high point to watch over the surrounding landscape and control movement through the area.
The House of Luxembourg acquired the castle and expanded it starting in 1346 under John Henry before it passed to Charles IV. This early construction made it a major fortress in the region during the 1300s.
The castle shows how Czech nobility built fortifications to control the land and demonstrate power. Its position on the ridge made it a visible symbol of authority for travelers passing through the valley below.
The site offers guided tours and has parking facilities with refreshment options nearby. Both families with children and people with pets can visit comfortably, with paths that are manageable for most visitors.
The castle walls show marks left by treasure hunters who damaged the structure while searching for hidden riches during its pledged period. These marks and holes remain as reminders of past adventurers hoping to find hidden wealth.
