Žebrák Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Točník, Czech Republic.

Žebrák Castle is a medieval ruin near Točník in the Czech Republic, set on a rocky ridge above Stroupinský Creek and featuring two circular towers. The site forms part of a double-castle system, as the younger Točník Castle was built directly next to it on the same ridge.

Oldřich Zajíc III founded the castle in the second half of the 13th century. In 1336 it passed to the House of Luxembourg, and Wenceslaus IV had it rebuilt as a residence; after a fire in 1395 he founded Točník nearby. A second fire in 1532 left it ruined, and it was recorded as deserted in 1553.

The castle takes its name from the village of Žebrák, first recorded in 1280 in the title of Přibyslav of Žebrák. In 1412 the castle hosted a disputation between Jan Hus and Štěpán z Pálče. The ruin is now a national cultural monument and is open to the public.

Visitors should wear sturdy footwear, as the paths across the site can be uneven and rocky in places. It is worth planning a visit to the neighboring Točník Castle at the same time, since the two castles sit directly next to each other.

In 1438, Prague burghers who had held councillor posts under King Sigismund were imprisoned at Žebrák; in May of the following year they managed to escape. The castle had already withstood two Hussite sieges, in 1425 and 1430.
