Rýzmburk castle, Gothic castle ruins in Osek, Czech Republic

The castle complex features two distinct sections, including a core with residential towers and a larger area protected by rampart fortifications.

Construction of Rýzmburk Castle began between 1241 and 1250 under Bohuslav I and was completed by his son Boreš II of the Hrabišici family.

The castle became a source of inspiration for Charles Hynek Mácha, who explored these medieval ruins during his visits in the 1930s.

Located at coordinates 50.633995, 13.664552, the castle ruins can be accessed through marked hiking trails starting from the town of Osek.

The castle's massive tower, known as the zephyr, stands as one of the largest Gothic fortification structures in the northern Bohemian region.
