Melice, Castle ruins in Vojenský újezd Březina, Czech Republic.

Melice is a castle ruin situated on elevated terrain within the Vojenský újezd Březina military zone. The stone walls display recognizable features of medieval fortification techniques, with preserved ramparts and structural remains still visible.

Melice first appears in documents in 1339, already completed, built by Olomouc bishop Jan Volek; his successor Jan Očko z Vlašimi added the chapel. Bishops pledged the castle to Margrave Jošt in 1383 and to Heralt z Kunštátu in 1401. In summer 1423 Hussite troops took it, and by 1439 it was recorded as razed to a heap of stones.

The castle's name comes from the village of Melice, and its administrators were bishop's vassals titled "z Melic" in records of 1353, 1362, 1373 and 1380. Excavations in 1931–1938 uncovered the stone coat of arms confirming the chapel built by Bishop Jan Očko z Vlašimi.

The ruin lies near the boundary of the Březina military training area and is freely accessible; a green-marked circular trail leads to it from Pustiměř. The site is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic since 1970.

The castle's rarest find is a set of Gothic stove tiles from an ornate tiled stove built for Bishop Václav Králík z Buřenic between 1412 and 1416. Standing 280 cm with its base and assembled from over 150 ceramic tiles, it stood in the palace chamber; the tiles' reliefs trace the owner's rise through the social ranks and his victory over infernal powers.
