Dívčí kámen, Castle ruins near Třísov, Czech Republic

The remains of this medieval fortress stand on a rocky hill surrounded by the Vltava River and Křemežský stream, offering views of the landscape.

Built between 1350 and 1360 by the Rosenberg family, the castle served as a military and administrative center until its abandonment in the 16th century.

The name Dívčí kámen derives from German words Maidstein, meaning Maiden Stone, reflecting the local legends of a mysterious girl appearing on the rocks.

Located 9 kilometers northeast of Český Krumlov, visitors can explore the 210-meter-long castle ruins through three preserved entrance gates.

The castle temporarily held King Václav IV as prisoner during his forced journey to Austria in 1394, marking a significant moment in Czech history.
