Frýdberk, Medieval castle ruins in Žulová, Czech Republic

The remains of Frýdberk Castle include a massive cylindrical tower that now serves as a bell tower for St. Joseph's Church.

Built before 1290 by Jan Wustehube, the castle endured attacks from Swedish forces during the Thirty Years' War and became uninhabitable by 1642.

The castle grounds transformed into a religious site when local citizens received permission to construct St. Joseph's Church using the existing castle structure.

Visitors can access the church and tower during Sunday services from 9:30 to 10:30, offering views of the surrounding Jeseník region.

The castle's 11-meter diameter defensive tower received a new purpose when it was integrated into the classical church building in 1810.
