Okrouhlá Castle, Medieval fortified house in Okrouhlá u Chebu, Czech Republic.

Okrouhlá Castle is a medieval fortified house near Cheb that combines defensive structures with residential spaces. The building displays thick walls and architectural features typical of period fortifications, where protective elements and living quarters are skillfully integrated into one complex.

The fortified house was built in the 14th century, when Okrouhlá belonged to the Paulsdorfer family (1299–1421). In 1450 it was burned by the troops of George of Poděbrady. In the 16th century the townsmen Juncker family gave the interior a Renaissance form. In 1888 the architect Karel Haberzettl rebuilt it in a Romantic style, and from 1885 to 1945 it belonged to the miller family Muck and their descendants.

The name Okrouhlá refers to the village, while the fortress itself is called tvrz; the Paulsdorfer family held the estate from 1299 to 1421. Inside, visitors can see cross vaults in the side rooms of the front and courtyard wings on the first floor, and brick vaults in most of the cellars. The miller family Muck owned the building from 1885 until 1945.
