Zřícenina Hradu Lapikus

Plaveč, Czechia, Czech Republic (Czechia)

Zřícenina Hradu Lapikus is the remains of a small Gothic castle situated on a rocky ridge above the Plenkovický Stream near the village of Plaveč in South Moravia.

The castle was probably built in the late 14th or early 15th century, and the first known written record of it dates to 1411. The fortress suffered damage during conflicts between the Bohemian king George of Poděbrady and the Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus. By 1508, it was already recorded as abandoned and gradually fell into ruin.

Today, visitors can still see sections of the defensive walls, parts of a former tower, and traces of other buildings and fortifications. The ruins are protected as a cultural monument and are valued for their historical significance and scenic location within the Jevišovice Highlands. Accessible by marked hiking trails from nearby villages, Lapikus offers a peaceful atmosphere, attractive views, and a glimpse into the medieval history of the region.
