Tichá Castle, Gothic fortified house in Tichá, Czech Republic.

Tichá Castle is a fortified residence built in the Gothic style with thick stone walls and tall pointed windows. The structure displays typical medieval defensive features that remain visible throughout the building.

First mentioned in 1360, when it belonged to Jan and Beneš of Velešín, the fortified house passed to Oldřich of Rožmberk in 1387 and was administered by his stewards. Fires in 1687, 1707 and 1789 damaged it heavily; Jan Buquoy had it rebuilt as a brewery in 1789.

The tower's name, Tichá, means "quiet" in Czech, matching the village. Since 2020 the fortress has been a stop on the Zemská cesta, a 215-kilometre castle and chateau trail linking 19 sites across Austria and the Czech Republic.

The site is connected to the surrounding village by walking paths and can be reached on foot. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear as the paths lead through hilly terrain.

In 1978 border guards tried to blow up the tower because it stood 40 metres from the electrified border fence; walls up to 3.5 metres thick defeated the charge, and only the tower was damaged. The association Hrady na Malši and the municipality of Dolní Dvořiště bought the ruin in 2008 for 450,000 korunas.
