Cimburk, Gothic castle ruin in Koryčany, Czech Republic
Cimburk is a castle ruin located on a forested hill above Koryčany, with visible remains of defensive walls and a central tower from the medieval period. The layout follows typical patterns of a fortified structure with preserved foundations and wall edges.
The castle was built in the 1330s when Bernhard von Cimburg exchanged his previous stronghold for the estates of Střílky and Koryčany. This transfer marked a new chapter for the family in this region.
The castle architecture represents the transition period between early and high Gothic styles in Moravian defensive structures of the 14th century.
The ruin is reached via marked hiking trails from Koryčany, with the climb passing through wooded terrain. The site is best explored on foot and offers a good opportunity for a walk through nature.
The fortress blends elements from Bohemian and Austrian building styles, reflecting its location near historical borders. This mixture shows in the details of walls and towers that remain visible today.
