Drahotuš Gord, Medieval castle ruins in Slavkov, Czech Republic.

Drahotuš Gord is a ruin of a medieval castle on a spur of the Juřacka hill at a spot called Hradisko, in the Oderské vrchy range above the village of Podhoří. It was founded in the 1260s by Bohuš of Drahotuš to guard the merchant routes through the Moravian Gate, and only fragments of the masonry survive on the wooded slope.

Bohuš of Drahotuš, Přerov burgrave and Moravian marshal, founded the castle in the 1260s on land granted by King Přemysl Otakar II, to guard the merchant routes of the Moravian Gate; he is first recorded with it in 1269. The Lords of Drahotuš sold it in 1371 to Margrave Jan Jindřich. In 1476 Ctibor Tovačovský of Cimburk sold it to Vilém of Pernštejn, after which it lost its residential role and was abandoned.

The castle takes its name from Bohuš of Drahotuš, the Přerov burgrave and Moravian marshal who founded it after King Přemysl Otakar II granted him the land in the 1260s. The Lords of Drahotuš held it until 1371, when they sold it to Margrave Jan Jindřich.

The site sits on hilly terrain and requires sturdy footwear and some physical effort to explore properly. Access is straightforward and the ruins can be visited without special arrangements or advance planning.

The castle stands on a spur of Juřacka hill at a spot called Hradisko, above the village of Podhoří. Just north of the ruins lie former mines that are closed to the public.
