Castle Ruins Košťálov

Jenčice, Czechia, Czech Republic (Czechia)

Košťálov Castle is a ruined Gothic castle situated on a basalt hill near the village of Jenčice in Czechia.

The castle was likely built around the late 13th century and is first mentioned in written records in 1372. It served as a fortified residence for the noble family Kaplíř of Sulevice, playing a role in regional defense and administration.

The castle became increasingly inaccessible over time and ceased to be a residential stronghold by the 16th century, with abandonment occurring around 1600. Today, only ruins remain, including parts of the main tower and outer fortifications, perched on a rugged cliff that offers extensive views over the surrounding landscape.

The site is recognized for its historical significance but access is restricted due to structural instability and safety concerns.
