Kokořín Castle, Medieval castle in Kokořínský Důl, Czech Republic.
The castle rises from sandstone rocks above a deep valley, featuring high walls, angular towers, and fortified gates within dense forest surroundings.
Built in the 14th century, the castle fell into ruins after the Thirty Years' War when Emperor Ferdinand prohibited repairs of certain fortresses.
The castle ruins attracted numerous 19th-century artists, including poet Karel Hynek Mácha who found creative inspiration among the weathered stones.
Located 40 kilometers from Prague, the castle received over 45,000 visitors in 2022 and offers guided tours through its restored medieval interiors.
The castle underwent the first complete medieval ruin restoration project in Bohemia, finished in 1918 by businessman Václav Špaček.
