Litýš Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Nová Vesnička, Czech Republic.
Litýš Castle is a medieval castle ruin in central Bohemia consisting of stone walls and several standing towers that rise above the surrounding landscape. The ruins spread across a hillside and show the typical layout of a medieval fortress with recognizable residential areas and defensive towers.
The castle was built in the late Middle Ages as a defensive structure to control surrounding territories for local nobles. Over time the fortress was abandoned and deteriorated into the ruins visible today.
The Ministry of Culture recognizes Litýš Castle as an official cultural monument, preserving its remains for historical research and education.
The ruins are accessible via marked hiking trails that connect to regional walking routes through the forested landscape. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear and expect uneven terrain since the ruins sit on a hillside.
The castle ruins maintain their original medieval layout without modern alterations, allowing researchers to study authentic construction methods.
