Loket Castle

Loket Castle is a stone castle of 12th-century origin in Loket, Czechia, sited on a massive rock and surrounded on three sides by the Ohře river. It preserves Romanesque fabric overlain by extensive 14th-century Gothic reconstructions and later additions; today it functions as a museum and national monument.

As it stood in 1395

The shape it held in its prime.

Perched on a massive rocky spur and enclosed on three sides by the Ohře river, the castle presents thick quarry-stone curtain walls founded directly on rock. The silhouette features semicylindrical flanking towers, a Romanesque polygonal tower, the long block of the Margrave's House and multiple attached palatial wings with pitched roofs. Walls are built of local stone with masonry up to about 2.2–2.5 m thick; interior spaces include vaulted halls, an underground cellar/prison and an internal courtyard ringed by defensive buildings.
