Frymburk, Medieval castle ruin in Nový Hrádek, Czech Republic.

Frymburk is a medieval castle ruin in Nový Hrádek standing 535 meters above sea level and featuring Gothic architecture. The site contains two entrance gates and five palace halls inside.

Construction of the castle began in the early 14th century and the structure survived multiple damages including a powder explosion in 1573 and an earthquake in 1605. These events left marks on the walls that remain visible today.

The picture gallery displays portraits of the Buquoy family and documents the history of nobility and architectural evolution across generations. Visitors can see how this family shaped the place and what roles different members played over time.

The castle is located at Hradní 184 in Nový Hrádek and has a souvenir shop on site. Dogs are allowed and can be brought along during your visit.

The northern section of the Orlické Mountains was once named Frymburk Mountains, reflecting the site's strong regional influence. This former name shows how important the fortress was to local geography and identity.
