Chodský hrad, Medieval castle in Domažlice, Czech Republic.

Chodský hrad stands in the southwest corner of Domažlice's old town, on the south side of Chodské náměstí above the Zubřina. Its rectangular corner faced the town, while the opposite side was quarter-round; a round tower on a square base and the outer perimeter wall survive.

The castle was founded between 1262 and 1265 by King Přemysl Otakar II as a defensive structure protecting the realm's border. Over the centuries it shifted functions, eventually serving as a salt warehouse before becoming a museum in modern times.

The Chod Museum, founded in 1883, is the oldest museum in Domažlice. Its displays include collections of lace and embroidery and a depiction of a Chod wedding, shown in the castle since 1931.

The castle museum is located in the center of Domažlice and is easily accessible on foot, with paved walkways around the square. It is recommended to arrive in the morning to enjoy the space without crowds and to take time with the exhibitions.

The round tower stands on a square base, and the outer perimeter wall survives from the medieval castle; the three palace wings known from a 1592 drawing are gone. The tower is entered separately from the museum exhibitions.
