Dobršská tvrz, Fortified house in Dobrš, Czech Republic

Dobršská tvrz is a fortified residential complex on the southwestern edge of Dobrš comprised of multiple connected buildings with a distinctive square tower at its core. The main structures include a three-wing building with ribbed vault ceilings, Renaissance-period stone vaults in the courtyard, and a later baroque addition dating from 1707 with decorative window frames.

The first written mention is the predicate of Přibík of Dobrš, called Kocík, in 1377; his sons served the Strakonice Johannites. The fortress was badly damaged during the Hussite Wars but restored. In 1597 Václav Koc added a Renaissance chateau to the Gothic fortress, and in 1692 Hubert Zikmund Althan began a Baroque chateau that he left unfinished.

The name Dobrš comes from the Koc family of Dobrš, whose members held the estate from the 14th century; Přibík of Dobrš, called Kocík, is recorded in 1377. The village church and the fortress stand close together, and the yellow-marked hiking trail from Vacov passes through the village.

The fortress stands on the southwestern edge of Dobrš at 705 m above sea level and is not open to the public, so the buildings can only be seen from outside. A yellow-marked hiking trail leads to the village from Vacov.

The tower lost its roof to a gale in 1845, and when a second storm tore it off again in 1860 it was never replaced. The fortress itself is closed to the public; hikers reach Dobrš on the yellow-marked trail from Vacov.
