Točník Castle

Točník Castle is a stone fortress located on a hilltop in the Central Bohemian Region, built across three distinct sections with defensive fortifications. The compound includes a Royal Palace and walls that rise prominently above the surrounding landscape.

King Wenceslas IV commissioned this royal residence in the late 14th century following a major fire that damaged the nearby fortress of Žebrák. The castle became an important stronghold in the region and served noble families over several centuries.

The castle served as a residence for noble families who governed the surrounding lands and shaped the region. Visitors can see today how rooms were arranged for daily life in a medieval royal home.

The castle is accessible through guided tours that help visitors explore the different sections and understand its layout. Parking and refreshment facilities are available throughout the season when the site is open.

The castle walls contain preserved medieval graffiti markings that show artistic expressions from people across different time periods. These scratches and drawings offer glimpses into the everyday creativity and thoughts of those who lived and worked here.
