Litovická tvrz, Medieval fortified house in Hostivice, Czech Republic.
The fortress features Gothic windows, a ceremonial hall on the second floor, and a basement structure built with precisely crafted marl blocks.
French builders from Avignon constructed this fortification in 1330 under the direction of Prague Bishop Jan IV of Dražice, introducing advanced building methods.
The structure exhibits architectural elements of medieval Czech defensive buildings, including a timber framework for residential areas surrounded by protective stone mantles.
The fortress requires advance planning for visits as it currently stands unoccupied and undergoes periodic maintenance work by its owner, Litos.
The second-floor ceremonial hall provides direct views toward Prague, demonstrating strategic positioning in medieval defensive architecture.
