Buzice

The fortress contains preserved sections of residential wings, a corner tower, defensive moat, and remaining ramparts that demonstrate medieval construction techniques.

First documented in 1384 with mention of Předota of Buzice, the fortress evolved from a noble residence to partial abandonment by the mid-16th century.

The structure represents the architectural transition period when fortified houses served both defensive and residential purposes in medieval Czech territories.

Visitors need to arrange transportation to reach this remote location, situated 18 kilometers north of Strakonice and 51 kilometers southeast of Plzeň.

The fortress walls were later repurposed into baroque granaries during the 16th and 17th centuries, showing adaptation of medieval structures for agricultural use.
