Pajrek, Gothic castle ruin in Nýrsko, Czech Republic
The ruins of Pajrek Castle rest at 505 meters above sea level, featuring the remains of a massive prism-shaped tower in the western Bohemian Forest.
Constructed at the start of the 14th century by the Lords of Janovice, the castle served as a strategic border fortification until its abandonment in 1472.
The Gothic architecture of Pajrek Castle represents medieval defensive construction techniques, with its remaining structures now protected as a national cultural monument.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked hiking trails from Nýrsko, though the path involves climbing steep terrain to the elevated position.
The castle gained notoriety in the 15th century when the Janovský family used it as a base for robbery operations until authorities burned it down.
