As it stood in 1390
What Talmberk Castle looked like in its prime.
In its prime the castle was dominated by a tall, cylindrical bergfried of pale to mid-grey rubble masonry rising directly from the rocky hilltop; the round tower presented thick walls with narrow vertical arrow-slits and a high entrance above ground level. Low stone ranges and compact defensive walls clustered around the tower to form a small hilltop stronghold, the whole massing compact against the skyline above the village of Talmberk.
Its story
The story of Talmberk Castle.
Talmberk Castle was built around 1297 on land granted to Hroznata of Úžice for his service to King Wenceslaus II of Bohemia. Its most active years came in the late 14th century, when the castle was occupied by Diviš of Talmberk; it was besieged in 1390 and held by Havel Medek of Valdek.
Abandoned by 1533, the castle survives as a ruin in the village of Talmberk in the Central Bohemian Region. The lower portion of the original bergfried still stands, and the ruins have been a protected cultural monument since 1958.
