Cultural monuments in Vlachovice, Fortified house in Vlachovice, Czech Republic

The water fortress stands as a defensive structure incorporating architectural elements from medieval military engineering, with strong walls surrounding the central courtyard.

The fortress dates from the 14th century when it served as a strategic control point along trade routes through the Vlára River valley.

The structure represents traditional Moravian defensive architecture, combining military fortification techniques with residential requirements of noble families in medieval times.

Visitors can explore the fortress grounds from April through October, with guided tours available in Czech language upon request at the municipal office.

The fortress contained an advanced water defense system utilizing channels from the nearby river to create a protective moat around its perimeter.
