Štamberk, Medieval castle ruin in Řásná, Czech Republic

The castle remains stand at 695 meters above sea level, incorporating granite rock outcrops into its defensive structure across one hectare of land.

Built in the last quarter of the 13th century, Štamberk Castle fell during the Hussite wars in 1423 when forces attacked the structure during battles near Telč.

The fortress represents medieval noble architecture in southwestern Moravia, with surviving walls displaying characteristics of Cyclopean masonry construction techniques.

Visitors can access the castle ruins without entrance fees and combine their exploration with a 28-minute hike to the nearby Roštejn Castle.

A nature reserve called Kamenné moře surrounds the castle, featuring massive boulders that shifted during the last Ice Age.
