Osov Castle

Osov Castle is a stone fortress dating from the medieval period, standing on elevated ground in the Central Bohemian Region and displaying traditional Czech architectural features. The structure and its surrounding grounds show typical characteristics of castle building from that era.

The castle was founded in 1317 and served local noble families as a residential seat and for controlling the surrounding territories. These functions shaped its design and positioning that remain visible today.

The castle served as a residence for local noble families for centuries and continues to shape the appearance of Osov village today. Its presence has influenced how the settlement and surrounding land developed over time.

The castle is currently undergoing restoration work, so it is important to check access conditions before visiting. Visitors should find out which areas are open and what safety precautions may apply.

The castle occupies a defensive position on elevated terrain that allowed it to watch over the surrounding landscape of the Beroun District. From this strategic location, residents could monitor trade routes and approaches to their holdings.
