Dívčí Hrad

Czech Republic, Czech Republic (Czechia)

Dívčí Hrad is a medieval castle ruin located near the village of Pavlov in the Czech Republic, first mentioned in historical records in 1267 when it was called Deuviz.

The castle was an important royal fortification built to guard the trade route from Mikulov to Brno and Olomouc. It was conquered and destroyed in 1474 by the army of Matthias Corvinus. Around 1573, a Renaissance castle was built on the original ruins by Hynek Bruntálský of Vrbno. The castle changed ownership several times, passing to the Sedlnický family, the Teutonic Order, and later the Knights Hospitaller.

Architecturally, the remaining structure is a Gothic torso, a fortified irregular rectangle about 65 meters long and 20 meters wide, surrounded by thick walls. The ruins offer scenic views of the surrounding vineyards, villages, and the Nové Mlýny reservoirs. Despite its ruinous state, the site remains a popular destination for visitors interested in history, nature, and legends of medieval knights.
