Silesian Ostrava Castle, Medieval castle in Slezská Ostrava, Czech Republic.
The castle stands on a hill where the Ostravice and Lučina rivers meet, featuring Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements throughout its structure.
Originally constructed in the 1280s as a military fortress by the Těšín prince from the Piastovec family to guard the border with the Czech state.
The castle holds regular exhibitions in its cellars, including displays about medieval torture methods and an aquarium containing freshwater fish specimens.
Located at Hradní 1 in Ostrava, the castle received 107,073 visitors in 2022 and maintains guided tours through its historical chambers and grounds.
The structure underwent repairs in 2004 after experiencing structural issues caused by extensive coal mining operations beneath its foundations.
