Švamberk Castle, Gothic castle ruin in Krasíkov, Czech Republic.

The stone remains of Švamberk Castle stand on a hill, featuring several walls and a viewing platform overlooking fields and forests.

The castle fell into ruins after Swedish forces occupied it in 1646 during the Thirty Years' War, marking the end of its defensive role.

The castle site contains architectural elements from medieval Czech fortification techniques, representing regional military construction methods.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following a marked forest path from the parking area at the bottom of the hill.

A working farm at the base of the castle hill houses llamas, donkeys, and other animals, offering fresh dairy products to visitors.
