Dobrohoř

Dobrohoř is a fortified structure in South Bohemia featuring two prominent towers linked by walls that demonstrate medieval defensive design. The site spans multiple levels and buildings showing different stages of ongoing restoration work.

The fortress was first documented in 1231, making it one of the region's oldest fortified residences established during the medieval period. Over the following centuries it underwent major modifications that transformed both its physical form and its role.

The fortress shows layers of different architectural styles from various centuries, reflecting how it was modified and adapted by successive owners. Visitors walking through can sense how Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements sit alongside one another, marking different chapters of occupation.

The site opens daily except Mondays from June through September, with limited weekend access during May and October. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear as the grounds feature uneven surfaces, stone pathways, and stairs throughout the complex.

Excavations at the site have uncovered traces of an older fortress beneath the current stone walls. This discovery suggests the location may have been occupied and built upon for much longer than the written records indicate.
