Říčany, Gothic castle ruin in Říčany, Czech Republic
Říčany is a castle ruin in the town of the same name, showing stone wall remains on elevated ground. The visible portions display Gothic features and give a sense of the original structure of this fortified site.
The fortress was built in the mid-13th century and was part of Bohemia's defensive landscape. Military conflicts caused substantial damage and eventually led to its abandonment.
The ruin shapes the character of Říčany and shows how important such fortifications were to medieval communities. Today locals and visitors value the site as a reminder of the region's medieval past.
The site is reachable on foot from Říčany train station and sits in the town center. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the paths are uneven and the terrain is hilly.
Beneath the surface lie medieval chambers and passages that are less known than the visible walls. These underground structures reveal old defensive techniques and how people built back then.
