Castle Valečov, Gothic rock castle ruins in Boseň, Czech Republic
The castle structure combines carved sandstone blocks with constructed fortification elements, featuring multiple courtyards and rock chambers across three sandstone ridges.
Founded in the early 14th century by the Valečov family, the castle experienced significant damage in 1439 during the Hussite Wars when Jindřich z Vartenberka attacked.
The castle holds numerous rock chambers that provided winter shelter for Hussite field armies, reflecting the military and social dynamics of medieval Bohemia.
The castle opens Tuesday through Sunday from May to June and September, daily in July and August, and weekends only from October to April.
An underground tunnel carved directly into the rock leads visitors to the summit plateau, where the remains of two palaces stand on separate blocks.
