Hrádek, Medieval fortified house ruins in Libomyšl, Czech Republic.

The remains of Hrádek include a circular moat and rampart positioned on a 22-meter-high hill above the eastern edge of Libomyšl village.

First mentioned in 1370, Hrádek served as a residence for Libomyšl owners from the 14th to 16th centuries before gradually declining into ruins.

A chapel dedicated to Saint George stood on the fortress remains from 1698 until 1787, when villagers repurposed its wooden parts for school construction.

The fortification site measures 35 by 22 meters and features a preserved moat reaching up to twenty meters in width, accessible through local pathways.

A protected small-leaved linden tree grows within the fortress area, standing twelve meters tall with a trunk circumference of 310 centimeters.
