Zřícenina Říčanského Hradu
Říčany, Czechia, Czech Republic (Czechia)
Zřícenina Říčanského Hradu is a 13th-century castle ruin on a small hill at 340 meters elevation in Říčany, Central Bohemian Region, Czechia, built around 1260-1270 by Ondřej ze Všechrom, the highest chamberlain of King Přemysl Otakar II, as a luxurious noble residence rivaling royal architecture with fine stonework likely from the king's workshop.
First documented in 1289, it featured a large vaulted hall in the palace, a flat-ceilinged donjon tower, protective moats and ponds, and passed to descendants like judge Oldřich z Říčan before Hussite sieges in 1420 led to its decline under owners like the Trčkové z Lípy, who abandoned it by 1516.
Protected as a cultural monument since 1966, the remnants include the palace's full-height western walls and courtyard facade, donjon corner, lower palace sections, and a central well amid urban encroachment, offering a quick historical glimpse behind the town square.
