Hukvaldy Castle, Castle ruins on Castle Hill in Hukvaldy, Czech Republic.
The stone fortress stands on a 150-meter elevation, extending across 800 meters with six separate sections connected through individual gates.
Founded in the 13th century by the Hückeswagen family, the castle supervised a trade route between Olomouc and Kraków until a fire damaged it in 1762.
The castle hosts the annual Janáček International Music Festival, celebrating the works of the Czech composer born in the surrounding village.
Visitors can access the castle from April through October, beginning at the paid parking area in Hukvaldy village and following a one-kilometer uphill path.
The castle grounds include a 16th-century game reserve where fallow deer and mouflons roam freely among ancient oak and lime trees.
