Janštejn Castle, Castle ruin in Nová Ves, Czech Republic
The stone fortification stands on an elevated position, featuring remaining walls and foundations that outline the original medieval defensive structure.
The castle construction began in 1315 during a period of extensive fortification development throughout the Bohemian region of medieval Europe.
The castle represents a typical example of medieval Czech defensive architecture and maintains its status as a protected cultural monument.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked hiking trails from Nová Ves, with interpretive panels explaining the structure's layout.
The remaining walls contain distinct architectural elements that demonstrate the transition between early Gothic and late medieval building techniques.
