Starý Jičín Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Starý Jičín, Czech Republic.

The stone remains of Starý Jičín Castle stand at 496 meters above sea level, offering views across the Moravian-Silesian landscape.

Constructed in the 13th century, the fortress protected the Amber Road trade route until its decline and subsequent transformation into ruins by the early 1900s.

The castle holds national monument status and maintains architectural elements that demonstrate medieval Czech defensive construction techniques.

Visitors can reach the castle through marked hiking paths from Starý Jičín village, with parking available at the base of the hill.

The castle tower, reconstructed in 1996 after municipal acquisition, serves as a regional navigational landmark visible from 30 kilometers away.
