Stohánek, Medieval rock castle ruins in Stráž pod Ralskem, Czech Republic.
The stone fortress features carved chambers and a water cistern system within sandstone cliffs three kilometers southeast of Stráž pod Ralskem.
Benedict von Wartenberg established the fortress in 1427 as a defensive position, but troops from the Six Cities Alliance destroyed it in 1444.
Soviet soldiers left Cyrillic inscriptions in the rock during their station period between 1946 and 1991, marking a different era of occupation.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through a carved staircase that follows the original medieval route up the sandstone formation.
A hermit inhabited the abandoned castle structure between 1740 and 1783, adding an unexpected chapter to the fortress history.
