Kozlov, Medieval castle ruin in Košov, Czech Republic.
Kozlov is a medieval castle ruin perched on a sandstone ridge near Turnov in the Czech Republic. The site incorporates natural rock formations and includes two chambers cut into stone plus the base of a defensive tower.
The fortress began in the 13th century as a wooden structure and was destroyed during Jan Žižka's military campaign in 1425. This destruction ended its use as a defended position.
The two chambers carved into rock show how residents adapted to this location by using natural stone formations. These spaces reveal how medieval builders worked with the landscape rather than against it.
The inner section connects to the outer area through a rock-cut moat with stairs carved on both sides for access. Visitors should be prepared for uneven footing along the natural stone pathways.
Natural geological processes created elongated depressions in the landscape around the site through sandstone deposits settling in rock fractures. These formations shape how the ruins sit within the terrain.
