Starý Rybník Castle, Gothic castle ruin in Starý Rybník, Czech Republic.
The castle remains stand on a small rocky ridge between two ponds, featuring architectural elements from medieval fortification design of central Europe.
The castle construction dates back to the late 14th century, with initial ownership by the Frankengrüner family before passing through multiple noble families.
The structure holds protected status as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, preserving evidence of medieval architectural techniques in western Bohemia.
Located 9 kilometers from Františkovy Lázně in the Karlovy Vary Region, the castle ruins require careful navigation due to their current deteriorated state.
The castle grounds include remnants of a defensive system positioned between two ponds, demonstrating medieval engineering methods for natural water fortification.
