Tachov Castle, Neoclassical castle in Tachov, Czech Republic.

Tachov Castle stands near the Mže River, featuring symmetrical architecture, decorated facades, and a system of fortification walls with multiple towers.

The medieval fortress, constructed during King Ottokar II's reign from 1233 to 1278, underwent transformation into a Renaissance structure by the Windisch-Graetz family in 1802.

The castle now functions as both a primary art school and a museum, displaying regional artifacts and hosting exhibitions about Czech architectural heritage.

Visitors can reach the castle by public transportation from Plzeň, located 53 kilometers east, with guided tours available throughout the tourist season.

The castle's circular defensive walls from 1300 remain among the most complete medieval fortification systems in the Czech Republic.
