Castle Starý Herštejn

Mnichov, Czechia, Czech Republic (Czechia)

Starý Herštejn Castle is a ruin of a guard castle built in the 13th century, located on a forested hill near the village of Mnichov in Czechia.

It was likely constructed before 1266 and played a role as a defensive fortress on an important trade route. In 1421, it was captured and burned by forces from the nearby town of Domažlice. The castle was later taken and destroyed again in 1510 because it served as the stronghold for robbing knights.

Since then, it has remained a ruin. The site includes remnants of ramparts, ditches, and perimeter walls, and it is recognized as a cultural monument in the Czech Republic. It is freely accessible to the public and stands as a historical symbol of medieval fortifications in the region.
