Schloss Giessdorf, Medieval castle ruins in Jištěrpy, Czech Republic
The stone remains of Schloss Giessdorf stand atop two basalt volcanic plugs, creating a distinct silhouette against the Central Bohemian landscape.
The castle, constructed in the second half of the 14th century, maintained its position through the Hussite Wars under pro-Catholic forces until 1648.
The ruins represent a significant period of Czech architectural development, showcasing the transition from defensive fortresses to residential structures.
