City walls of Loket, Medieval fortification in Loket, Czech Republic
The stone walls of Loket stretch along the bend of the Ohře River, featuring watchtowers that create a defensive perimeter around the historic town center.
The fortifications date back to the 14th century when Loket was established as a royal town, serving as a crucial defense point along the trade route between Prague and Erfurt.
The walls represent medieval engineering techniques and demonstrate the architectural capabilities of Czech builders who utilized local materials for construction.
Visitors can access several sections of the walls throughout the year, with informative panels explaining the historical significance and construction methods.
The walls follow the natural curve of the Ohře River on three sides, creating a formation that gave the town its name, meaning 'elbow' in Czech.
