Kost Castle
Kost Castle is a Gothic fortress in Libošovice in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic, founded before 1349 and preserved with most of its original features. It is notable for its trapezoidal donjon called Bílá věž and for being protected by two concentric rings of stone fortress walls. The castle occupies a narrow spit of land between two brooks rather than a hilltop.

As it stood in 1350
The shape it held in its prime.
Compact high-Gothic castle built of pale grey masonry set on a narrow rock spit between two streams; dominated by a tall, trapezoid-plan donjon (Bílá věž) with a steep pyramidal roof, encircled by two concentric stone curtain walls with crenellated parapets. A lower outer bastion wall steps down the rock face; attached residential ranges with steep slate roofs join the inner ward. The inner courtyard is roughly rectangular and open to the sky, with an arched entrance through the inner wall.
