Kaltenštejn, Gothic castle ruin in Černá Voda, Czech Republic.

The remains of Kaltenštejn include a round tower measuring 10.8 meters in diameter, alongside fragments of defensive walls and fortification structures.

Constructed between 1290 and 1295, the castle transferred to the Bishop of Wrocław in 1296 and met its destruction in 1505, leaving only partial structures.

The medieval fortress stands as a cultural monument, representing the architectural and military engineering capabilities of the Silesian Piasts dynasty.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked hiking trails from Žulová, with a walking distance of approximately 4 kilometers from the town center.

A 1443 inventory recorded the castle's military supplies, including two cannons, four handguns, six arrow quivers, and a garrison of four shooters and twelve guards.
