Šostýn, Castle ruin in Kopřivnice, Czech Republic.

The remnants of stone walls and foundations stand on elevated terrain, offering views across the surrounding Moravian-Silesian landscape.

Built during the latter half of the 13th century, the castle functioned as a defensive structure until its gradual decline in the late Middle Ages.

The ruins represent medieval military architecture and serve as an educational site for understanding fortification techniques from the 13th century.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked hiking trails that connect to the main transportation hub in Kopřivnice.

The stone walls contain architectural elements that demonstrate the transition between Romanesque and Gothic building styles in Czech castle construction.
