Lukov Castle, Gothic castle ruin in South Moravia, Czech Republic
The stone walls and towers of Lukov Castle rise above the Hostýn-Vsetín Mountains at an elevation of 500 meters in the Zlín region.
The castle served as a strategic royal fortress from 1332 under John of Bohemia until Swedish forces dismantled its defenses during the Thirty Years War in 1643.
The Society of Friends of Lukov Castle maintains the site and conducts archaeological research, revealing artifacts that document medieval life in Moravia.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through marked hiking trails from the village of Lukov, with guided tours available during regular opening hours from April to October.
In 2021, local mushroom collectors discovered a medieval treasure of 400 silver coins near the castle, including Prague groschen from around 1400.
