Zřícenina Hradu Šebín

Křesín, Czechia, Czech Republic (Czechia)

---

Zřícenina Hradu Šebín is the remains of a small medieval castle located near the village of Levousy in the municipality of Křesín, in the Ústí nad Labem Region of Czechia.

The castle likely originated in the late 13th or 14th century and served as the seat of a local noble family that managed nearby lands and villages. The first documented mention of Šebín dates from 1362. After passing through the hands of several noble families, the castle lost its importance and was abandoned during the 15th century.

By the 16th century, records already described it as deserted. Today, only earthworks, parts of a defensive ditch, and small fragments of masonry remain. Situated on a wooded ridge above the Ohře River and next to an ancient hillfort site, the ruin offers a glimpse into the region’s medieval history and is a quiet destination for visitors interested in archaeology and local heritage.
