Věžka, Gothic castle ruin in Druztová, Czech Republic
The stone remains of Věžka castle stand on a rocky hill above the Berounka River at an elevation of 310 meters.
Built in 1351 by Count Racek of Švamberk, the castle endured a six-month siege in 1406 before its final destruction by King Matthias Corvinus in 1478.
Archaeological excavations between 1962 and 1972 revealed numerous ceramic vessels and artifacts now preserved in the West Bohemian Museum collection.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following the yellow-marked hiking trail, which connects to several nature paths in the surrounding area.
The castle grounds contain remnants of a 1406 siege camp to the north, providing physical evidence of medieval military operations.
