Vízmburk, Gothic castle ruin in Havlovice, Czech Republic
The stone walls of Vízmburk Castle rise above a wooded hill, forming a rectangular layout with remnants of residential buildings and defensive structures.
Constructed in 1279 by nobleman Tas of Wiesenburg, the castle protected Bohemian territory from Silesian incursions until its purposeful destruction in 1447.
The Gothic architecture of Vízmburk Castle represents medieval construction techniques, with surviving elements showing the craftsmanship of 13th-century stone masonry.
The castle grounds contain informational panels explaining the layout of the former great hall, chapel, kitchen, and smithy across the 40-square-meter courtyard.
Archaeological excavations revealed numerous artifacts preserved beneath a thick layer of debris, earning Vízmburk the nickname 'Czech Pompeii' among researchers.
