Hus, Medieval castle ruins near Sezimovo Ústí, Czech Republic

The remains of Kozí Hrádek castle stand on an elevated position above Kozský Brook, surrounded by thick forest vegetation and stone walls.

Master Jan Hus found refuge at Kozí Hrádek during 1413-1414, where he wrote several theological texts before his departure to the Council of Constance.

The bronze statue of Jan Hus at the Hussite Mound near the castle represents the connection between this location and the Protestant Reformation movement.

The castle ruins open to visitors from May through September between 9:00 and 17:00, with entrance fees of 30 CZK for adults and 20 CZK for students.

The central element of the original castle structure consisted of a large residential tower protected by wooden fortifications and a deep moat system.
