Kotnov, Medieval castle ruins in Tábor, Czech Republic.

The round Kotnov Tower and adjacent Bechyně Gate form the remaining elements of a 13th-century fortification complex on the Tábor skyline.

The castle received its first written mention in 1370, featuring one angular and four round towers with an elaborate system of moats and fortification walls.

The Bechyně Gate, connected to the tower, houses an exhibition titled 'Tábor, the Fortress of the Righteous and the Royal City' within its Gothic interior.

Visitors can climb the Kotnov Tower to access viewing points that provide extensive views across Tábor and the Lužnice river valley.

Following a fire in 1532, sections of the castle transformed into a brewery, with cellars carved beneath the structure between 1612 and 1613.
