Frejštejn, Medieval castle ruin in Podhradí nad Dyjí, Czech Republic

The castle ruins stand on the right bank of the Dyje River, featuring remnants of defensive walls, a small palace, and a chapel structure.

Built in the 13th century by descendants of Wernhard of Trnava, the castle served as a strategic defense point until its abandonment in the 15th century.

The castle ruins represent medieval architectural traditions of South Moravia, with preserved elements showing construction techniques from different periods.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked hiking trails, with the site offering views of the Dyje River valley and surrounding landscape.

The castle tower contains preserved arrow slits from a 16th-century reconstruction, demonstrating military architectural adaptations of that period.
