Starý Berštejn, Gothic castle ruin in Vrchovany, Czech Republic.
The stone castle remains stand atop the 480-meter Berkovsky hill, presenting structural elements from medieval defensive architecture.
The castle originated in the 15th century under Jindrich Hlavac from Duba and changed ownership between noble families including the Vartemberks.
The structure represents Gothic architectural principles and received official recognition as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
Visitors can locate the castle ruins at coordinates 50.556713N and 14.579761E, with nearby accommodations available in surrounding towns.
The castle's decline led to the construction of Nový Berstejn nearby, as the original location proved inadequate for residential purposes.
