Skály, Gothic rock castle in Broumov Highlands, Czech Republic
The stone castle structure stands on a sandstone cliff, featuring remnants of fortification walls and a tower rising against the forest landscape.
Built during the 14th century, the castle served as a defensive stronghold until its gradual decline and eventual abandonment in the 16th century.
The castle ruins demonstrate medieval construction techniques with Gothic architectural elements typical of Bohemian defensive structures from that period.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked hiking trails from the nearby village of Skály, with free access throughout the year.
The castle walls merge with natural rock formations, creating an integrated structure where built elements and natural geology become indistinguishable.
