Oparno Castle, Gothic castle ruins near Oparno, Czech Republic
Oparno Castle is a ruin on a hilltop featuring Gothic stone walls with pointed arches and medieval construction methods. The remains include multiple fortification sections and basement chambers that show how large this defensive structure once was.
The castle was built in the Middle Ages as a defensive stronghold and played a role in regional conflicts during the 15th century. After its abandonment, the structures gradually declined and eventually became ruins.
The castle grounds include a former chapel that was converted into the Church of the Holy Trinity, serving as a burial site for the Trčka family.
The site is accessible via marked hiking trails and visitors should wear sturdy footwear to safely navigate uneven stone surfaces. The climb takes some time, so plan accordingly if you want to visit other attractions in the area.
The Colloredo family lost possession of the castle during World War II when Nazi forces seized it due to their resistance activities.
