Pulčín, Medieval castle ruin in Zlín Region, Czech Republic.

Pulčín is a ruined rock castle on the Zámčisko summit of the Přední skály ridge, about 400 m southwest of Hradisko peak in the Pulčín–Hradisko reserve. Its core was a sandstone crag roughly 18 × 15 m at the base with a levelled top about 7.5 m square, reached by a widened rock fissure and carved steps. A wall about 1.5 m thick, set in sandy mortar, ran along the southwest and northwest foot, and a courtyard of about 20 × 15 m lay to the northeast, cut off by a ditch over 7 m deep and some 12 m wide.

Pulčín, originally called Plučiny, was probably founded at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, since most pottery found dates from the 15th century and nothing from the 14th. It guarded the Střelenský pass and was first mentioned in writing in 1426 as property of King Sigismund of Luxembourg. The robber knight Miroslav of Cimburk is linked to the seat in 1437. The castle was demolished around 1470 during the Czech-Hungarian wars and recorded as deserted in 1517, 1518 and 1520.

The ruins show how people in the Middle Ages constructed fortifications, with stone walls and defensive features still visible today. These remains help visitors understand the building methods of that era.

The site is accessible via marked hiking trails with informational panels at various points around the ruins. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and expect uneven terrain on the grounds.

Local tradition long placed the castle on Hradisko, the reserve's highest peak, but research showed it stood at Zámčisko on the Přední skály ridge. The core was a sandstone rock about 18 × 15 m at its base, with a top platform roughly 7.5 m square, reached through a widened natural fissure and carved steps.
