Vítkův kámen, Gothic castle ruin in South Bohemian Region, Czech Republic.
The stone fortress stands on a hill at 1,033 meters above sea level, featuring remaining Gothic walls and a preserved square tower.
Built in 1250 under the direction of Vok of Rosenberg, the castle served as a defensive structure along the border between Bohemia and Bavaria.
The castle represents medieval Gothic architecture through its remaining structural elements, including fortified walls and distinctive architectural details from the 13th century.
Visitors can reach the castle through marked hiking trails from Svatý Tomáš village, with seasonal opening hours from April through October.
The castle tower provides views extending to the Alps, Lake Lipno, and the Bohemian Forest across three countries: Czech Republic, Austria, and Germany.
