Dražice Castle, Gothic castle ruins in Benátky nad Jizerou, Czech Republic.

The stone walls and tower of Dražice Castle rise above the trees along the Jizera River, marking the location of a medieval fortification built in 1264.

The castle served as the administrative center for the Lords of Dražice until the early 16th century when they relocated to a new residence in Benátky nad Jizerou.

The Gothic architecture of Dražice Castle represents the medieval building techniques and defensive strategies employed by Czech nobility during the 13th century.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following a 2.5-kilometer path from Benátky nad Jizerou, with winter months offering better accessibility due to reduced vegetation.

The castle's position near the D10 highway makes it visible to travelers, creating an unexpected medieval silhouette against the modern transportation route.

Location: Benátky nad Jizerou

Architectural style: Gothic architecture
