Radyně Castle, Gothic castle ruin on Radyně hill, Starý Plzenec, Czech Republic
The castle structure combines two rectangular towers connected by residential buildings, positioned at an elevation of 567 meters above sea level.
Charles IV initiated the construction of Radyně Castle in 1353 as Karlskrone to monitor trade routes between Nuremberg and Prague until 1361.
The castle tower holds exhibitions presenting regional history and local legends, including the tale of evil Radoush and his tragic destiny.
Visitors need to climb 114 stairs to reach the tower observation point, where a spyglass allows views of Primda Castle and Kozel Chateau.
The castle image appears on the Pilsener Theater curtain, painted by Augustin Němejc between 1899 and 1902, representing regional architectural heritage.
