Panna Castle

Panna Castle is a castle ruin situated on elevated ground near Řepčice in northern Bohemia. The standing stone walls and foundation remains reveal the layout of a defensive structure positioned to overlook the surrounding forests and countryside.

The castle was founded in the medieval period as part of a defensive network protecting northern Bohemia. Over time the structure lost its strategic importance and gradually deteriorated into the ruins visible today.

The name Panna means "maiden" in Czech, reflecting old local legends tied to the site that have shaped its identity over centuries. Visitors walking through the ruins can still sense how this place marked an important point in the medieval landscape of northern Bohemia.

Visitors can reach the ruins via marked hiking paths that connect from nearby parking areas and local transportation stops. The site is best visited during warmer months when the trails are dry and easier to navigate.

The ruins display distinctive stone masonry patterns from the medieval period that are characteristic of northern Bohemian fortifications of that era. These construction details offer visitors a rare view into the engineering techniques and local building traditions of the time.
