Mírov Castle

Miro Castle is a fortress in the Czech Republic that combines medieval structures with later rebuilding and modifications. The site features thick defensive walls and several towers that make up the main layout.

The fortress was founded in the 13th century and served as a regional defense stronghold from the start. It was rebuilt in the 17th century and gained Baroque features after experiencing repeated attacks.

The castle reflects its medieval origins in the building design and layout that remain visible throughout the site. The attached church of Saint Mary Magdalene is part of the overall complex and shapes how the place looks today.

The site is not freely accessible as it operates as a secure facility today. Visits require advance arrangements and take place only under supervision.

The castle is not managed by historians or museum operators today but serves as a modern institutional facility with significant operations. This makes it an unusual example where a medieval fortress fulfills an entirely different purpose in the present day.
