Ronov Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Ronov nad Sázavou, Czech Republic.

The castle stands atop a hill, featuring thick defensive walls constructed from local basalt and sandstone with architectural elements from the Gothic period.

Built in 1329, the castle changed ownership multiple times until 1643 when Swedish forces captured and burned it during the Thirty Years' War.

The castle ruins represent medieval Czech architecture and defense systems, with remnants of a residential tower and a strategic right-angle entrance passage.

The castle is registered in the Czech Monument Catalogue under number 1000129423 and maintains protected status through the National Heritage Institute.

The castle grounds include Stations of the Cross additions from the mid-19th century, built by Bishop Augustin Bartolomej Hille during partial dismantling.
