Sokolčí, Gothic castle ruin in Děkanské Skaliny, Czech Republic
The castle ruins feature a crenelated rampart connecting to one corner, with castle buildings positioned along both sides of the central courtyard.
Built in the second half of the 14th century by Čeněk of Wartenberg, the castle included two towers and remained active until its destruction by fire in 1648.
The castle structure exemplifies Gothic architectural elements of medieval Bohemian defensive constructions, with strategic positioning on a rock promontory.
Access to the ruins requires following marked hiking trails through the South Bohemian region, with climbing equipment necessary for detailed exploration.
The granite rock face beneath the castle reaches 25 meters in height and 70 meters in width, offering numerous technical climbing routes with safety equipment.
