Oltářík, Castle ruin in Děkovka, Czech Republic

Located on a volcanic hill at 568 meters elevation, the remains of Oltářík castle stand above the surrounding landscape of Českého středohoří region.

The castle was constructed in 1426 by Hussite warrior Jakoubek z Vřesovic to protect his regional estates and remained functional until its abandonment in 1554.

The Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic designated Oltářík as a protected cultural monument, recognizing its significance in the national heritage preservation system.

Visitors can access the castle ruins by driving to Děkovka from the main road between Lovosice and Most, followed by a 10-minute walk on marked trails.

Local tales mention a secret underground passage leading to a wine cellar that opens exclusively during Palm Sunday church services, then seals itself until next year.
