Zřícenina hradu Kvítkov

The castle is partly located on private land.

Beautiful walk through the winter landscape

Great place

A neglected rock castle, of which not much is left - a rock room and remnants of masonry, part of it is on private land.

The former castle / fortress is one of the oldest, but it is only a cellar on a private property. Owners are said to be helpful, but we did not reach them at home ...

We did not go to the ruins, but Kvítkovská stables is really nice

Kvítkov is a castle ruin on the western edge of the village of the same name. Its remains have been protected as a cultural monument since 1965. No written sources have been preserved about the castle. Few archaeological finds date back to the end of the fourteenth or early fifteenth century, when the village belonged to the Vlků family from Kvítkov. The appearance and extent of the castle are unclear, because they were significantly changed by sandstone mining and probably also by the construction of a younger homestead. He probably had three parts. One fort with a well used to be in the place of the homestead and the other was located at the southern foot of the rock formations. The castle core was occupied by the three largest rock blocks and consisted of a single three-storey building. Its lower parts are partially cut into the rock and contain barrel-vaulted spaces that have been used for operational purposes. The living rooms were located on the second floor. A jug-shaped object was carved into one of the smaller rocks south of the castle core, which was probably used to store grain.
