Chodský hrad, Medieval castle in Domažlice, Czech Republic.

The castle structure includes a preserved watchtower and multiple exhibition spaces displaying regional artifacts within its reconstructed stone walls.

Built between 1262 and 1265 by Přemysl Otakar II, the castle transformed through centuries from a defensive structure to a salt warehouse and later a museum.

The museum inside Chodský hrad presents exhibitions about the Chodové people, who protected Czech borders and maintained special privileges from medieval monarchs.

Located at Chodské náměstí 96, the museum opens on weekdays from 9:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 16:00, offering guided tours of the exhibitions.

The lower section of the building contains the original watchtower, designed by architect Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer during the 1726 reconstruction.
