Žerotín, Castle ruin in Týn nad Bečvou, Czech Republic.
The castle structure combines Gothic fortifications with later Neoclassical and Baroque architectural elements, standing on elevated ground near Přerov.
Established by knight Friduš of Linava in the late 13th century, the castle became a stronghold during conflicts following King Wenceslaus III's assassination in 1306.
Archaeological research since 1978 has revealed numerous artifacts that document the daily life and military activities of medieval Czech nobility.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked hiking trails from Týn nad Bečvou, with designated parking areas at the base of the hill.
The castle features an intricate network of bastions added by Vilém of Pernštejn, demonstrating 16th-century military engineering techniques.
