Švamberk Castle, Gothic castle ruin in Krasíkov, Czech Republic.
Švamberk Castle is a ruin perched on a hilltop with surviving stone walls and a viewing platform. The location offers views across surrounding fields and forests.
The castle was occupied by Swedish forces in 1646 during the Thirty Years' War, which ended its role as a functioning stronghold. It subsequently fell into ruin.
The site reflects medieval Czech construction methods typical of regional fortifications from that era. Visitors can observe these building techniques in the surviving stone structures today.
The ascent follows a marked forest trail from the parking area at the base of the hill. Sturdy footwear and drinking water are advisable for the walk up.
A working farm at the hill's base raises llamas, donkeys, and other livestock. Visitors can purchase fresh dairy products directly from the farm.
