Slavníkovské hradiště, Medieval hillfort in Malín, Czech Republic

Slavníkovské hradiště is an early medieval hillfort whose oval ground plan is echoed by the later village of Malín. Its ramparts survive only as low earthworks in gardens near the Church of Saints John and Paul, which retains a 10th-century nave with apse and a younger tower. A second, Romanesque Church of Saint Stephen was built on the site in the 12th century.

Malín was a Přemyslid castle that Duke Boleslav I entrusted to the Slavník family in the 10th century. Slavník's son Soběslav minted deniers here bearing his name and the inscription Malin Civitas. After the Slavníks' fall the hillfort survived, and according to Cosmas's chronicle Duke Bořivoj II's army camped by it in 1101. A Romanesque church of St Stephen was built on the site in the 12th century.

The village church of Saints John and Paul, originally dedicated to John the Baptist, was built in Ottonian style; its 10th-century nave with apse survives, while the tower is a later addition. The hillfort's oval ground plan is echoed in the layout of the later village streets. Silver denarii were struck here, some bearing the inscription Malin Civitas.

The hillfort lies in the built-up area of Malín, so the remains are reached on foot through the village lanes. The low ramparts survive in gardens in the western part of the village core, near the Church of Saints John and Paul. The church, originally dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, keeps a 10th-century nave with apse; its tower was added later.

Soběslav, son of Slavník, struck silver denars in Malín's mint bearing his name and the inscription Malin Civitas. At the time the hillfort may have outranked Libice, the main Slavník stronghold. The coins are the clearest trace of the site's own minting.
