Žďár, Ruins and fortified house in Czech Republic.

Žďár is a vanished fortified house in the village of the same name near Levínská Olešnice, Semily District. Only the fortified site survives, with terrain relics of the fortification: a ditch and rampart cut it off from the continuing ridge on the north and east sides. The site lies south of the former farmyard, in a spot called Krchovek.

The first written record of the Žďár fortified house dates from 1375, when Diviš of Žďár presented a priest to the church in Levínská Olešnice. Pešík of Žďár is mentioned in 1395. The stronghold probably disappeared not long afterwards, leaving only the earthworks of the fortified site.
