Mírov Castle, Medieval fortress in Mírov, Czech Republic
Description
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.
History
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.
Culture
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.
Practical
