Kalich Castle

Třebušín, Czechia, Czech Republic (Czechia)

Kalich Castle is a ruined medieval fortress situated on Kalich Hill above the village of Třebušín in the Czech Republic.

It was founded in 1421 by Jan Žižka, the renowned Hussite military leader, during the Hussite Wars. The castle's name "Kalich" means goblet, symbolizing the Hussite movement. Its strong defensive position allowed it to withstand siege attempts and it was the only Hussite castle never captured by Emperor Sigismund's forces.

The castle was inhabited until the late 15th century but was eventually abandoned and fell into ruins. Today, the remains of Kalich Castle are protected as a cultural monument and the site offers visitors panoramic views of the surrounding Central Bohemian Uplands. The castle is accessible via hiking trails and serves as a historical landmark commemorating the Hussite era.
