Kozlov, Medieval castle ruin in Košov, Czech Republic.

The ruins of Kozlov Castle stand at 596 meters elevation on a sandstone ridge divided into several natural blocks near Turnov.

The castle originated in the 13th century as a wooden structure and met its destruction during the military campaign of Jan Žižka's army in 1425.

The remaining structure contains two chambers carved directly into rock formations and the base section of a defensive tower from medieval times.

The inner section of the castle connects to the outer area through a rock-cut moat with stairs carved on both sides for access.

Natural geological processes created elongated depressions in the landscape from rock particle sedimentation within ground fractures near the castle.
