Tvrz, Medieval fortified house in Volfartice, Czech Republic.
The fortified residence combines Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements, featuring a main residential building situated on a prominent hill northwest of the church.
Built around 1540 over an older structure, the fortified house served as a noble residence until 1663 when Volfartice merged with the Horní Police estate.
The structure stands as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, representing the architectural developments and noble residences of northern Bohemia during the Renaissance period.
Visitors can locate the fortified house by taking the first eastern turn above the intersection connecting Česká Lípa and Kamenický Šenov roads.
The building underwent extensive restoration after 1990, following decades of deterioration, transforming from near ruins to a preserved historical structure.
