Nový hrad u Kunratic, Gothic castle ruin in Kunratický les, Czech Republic
The castle remains consist of foundation walls and a palace structure positioned on a forested promontory in the Kunratický forest.
King Václav IV commissioned the construction of Nový hrad in 1411, and after his death in 1419, Prague citizens captured and burned the castle in 1421.
The ruins served as inspiration for writer Alois Jirásek, who incorporated the location into his historical novel F. L. Věk during the 19th century.
Visitors can access the castle ruins throughout the year by following marked paths through the Kunratický forest, with entry free of charge.
The castle features an irregular pentagonal layout measuring 70 meters along its axis, with three defensive walls and a moat system for protection.
