Hukvaldy, Medieval castle ruins in Frýdek-Místek District, Czech Republic.
Located in the Moravian-Silesian Region, Hukvaldy municipality spans across five villages along the Ondřejnice River at 282 meters above sea level.
The castle construction began in the late 1270s by the Hückeswagen family, serving as a strategic fortress until a devastating fire in 1762.
The municipality changed its name from Sklenov to Hukvaldy in 1982 and maintains strong connections to composer Leoš Janáček through local music festivals.
The D48 motorway, part of European route E462, provides direct access to Ostrava located 19 kilometers north and Frýdek-Místek 10 kilometers northeast.
The castle grounds include a 16th-century game park housing fallow deer, mouflons, and wild boars, with an amphitheater for outdoor performances.
