Perštejn Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Perštejn, Czech Republic
The stone fortress stands on a high rock formation, featuring a five-story tower and multiple defensive structures across the surrounding landscape.
The Lords of Medlov constructed this Gothic stronghold between 1270 and 1285, later adopting the name Perštejn from the German term Bärenstein.
The castle remains demonstrate the architectural methods and military engineering skills developed by Czech nobles during the medieval period.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through marked hiking trails leading from the village of Perštejn, located in the Ore Mountains region.
The castle structure incorporates natural rock formations into its defensive system, with steep cliffs serving as natural barriers on three sides.
