Žumberk Castle, Gothic castle ruin in Žumberk, Czech Republic.
The castle remains include walls forming a pentagon shape surrounded by a deep moat with an adjacent service yard on the hilltop location.
Built during the second half of the 13th century by the Zajíc family, the castle changed ownership until the House of Luxembourg acquired it in 1336.
The castle structure represents regional Gothic architecture and maintains protected status as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
Visitors can freely explore the castle ruins throughout the year, with the site providing views of the surrounding Iron Mountains landscape.
A fire in 1395 prompted the construction of another castle above Žumberk, indicating a shift in strategic military positioning during medieval times.
