Castle Přimda, Romanesque castle ruins on Přimda hill, Czech Republic
The stone fortification features a preserved rectangular tower rising above the surrounding Bohemian Forest at an elevation of 848 meters.
Built in 1121 by a German knight, the castle represents the second oldest stone fortification in Bohemia after Prague Castle.
The castle served as both a royal prison for princes and kings and a strategic defensive point along the medieval Bohemian border.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through guided tours, which provide detailed information about the structure and its architectural elements.
The castle tower displays German architectural influences rather than Czech building styles, showing similarities to Bavarian constructions of that period.
