Castle Louňovice pod Blaníkem, Medieval château in Louňovice pod Blaníkem, Czech Republic.
The stone fortress stands at the base of the Blaník mountains, featuring Renaissance architecture with Gothic elements and fortified walls throughout its structure.
Originally constructed in the 14th century, the castle underwent modifications in 1652 when it transformed from a defensive fortress into a residential château.
The castle maintains strong connections to Czech folklore through its proximity to Blaník mountain, where legendary knights sleep until the nation needs protection.
The castle now functions as a tourist information center and museum, providing visitors with details about the region's heritage and natural surroundings.
The castle grounds offer direct views of both Velký Blaník and Malý Blaník mountains, with their ancient hillforts dating back to the 5th century BC.
