Loket Castle, Gothic castle in Karlovy Vary Region, Czech Republic
The stone castle rises on a massive rock formation, surrounded on three sides by the winding Ohře River in western Bohemia.
The castle foundation dates to the third quarter of the 12th century during Přemysl Otakar I's reign to protect the merchant path from Prague.
The castle museum presents extensive collections of medieval weapons, local porcelain manufacturing history, and archaeological discoveries from different periods.
The castle opens daily from April through October, with guided tours available in multiple languages and a dedicated parking area near the entrance.
The castle contains a rare Romanesque rotunda, discovered in 1966, which remained hidden within the castle walls for centuries.
