Chudý hrádek, Medieval castle ruins in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic.

The stone remnants of Chudý hrádek stand on a rock formation, with preserved palace walls and cellars carved into the bedrock beneath.

Built in the 14th century by the Berks of Dubá family, the castle served as an administrative center before its abandonment in the 16th century.

The castle's name variations, including Hrádek, Pustý hrádek, and Poustka, reflect the linguistic evolution of the Czech language through centuries.

The castle ruins are accessible year-round through a green tourist trail from Dřevčice village, following the path through Čertova rokle valley.

Despite its name meaning 'Poor Castle', the designation refers to the fortress's small size rather than any economic status of its owners.
