Zbytky Hradu Stříbrná Skalice

Stříbrná Skalice, Czechia, Czech Republic (Czechia)

---

Zbytky Hradu Stříbrná Skalice near Stříbrná Skalice in Czechia are the remains of a medieval castle first mentioned in records from 1402.

The castle played a role during the power struggles of the early 15th century but was conquered and destroyed by Sigismund, the brother of King Wenceslas IV, during a siege connected to political conflicts of the time. After the castle was abandoned and ruined, many of its stones were used to build the nearby Church of St. John of Nepomuk in the 18th century.

Today, only small parts of the original masonry survive, including fragments of walls, the stub of the circular main tower, and some remnants near the church. The castle was strategically located on a steep hill overlooking the surrounding area, and its ruins serve as a historical monument reflecting the turbulent medieval history of the region.​
