Pustý zámek, Gothic rock castle in Bukovec, Czech Republic.
The remains of Pustý zámek stand on elevated terrain, featuring stone walls and architectural elements typical of medieval defensive structures.
Built in 1319, the rock castle served as a military fortification during a period when Bohemia strengthened its defense system against potential invasions.
The site maintains its status as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, demonstrating the architectural methods and defensive strategies of medieval Bohemian society.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked hiking paths that connect to the main road, with informational panels explaining the site's history.
The castle's position on rocky terrain allowed its builders to incorporate natural stone formations into the defensive structure, reducing construction requirements.
