Vargač, Medieval castle ruins near Dobříš, Czech Republic.

The stone castle stands on a rocky promontory above the Huťský pond, featuring remnants of fortification walls and architectural elements from different periods.

Charles IV ordered the transformation of the original structure into a stone fortification during the 14th century to maintain royal control in the Podbrdí region.

The castle experienced multiple modifications throughout centuries, transforming from a defensive structure to a granary during the Mannsfeld family ownership period.

The castle remains under private ownership and functions as a storage facility since the 1950s, without public access to its interior spaces.

Historical photographs from the late 18th century document the structural evolution of Vargač castle, providing insights into its architectural transformations.
