    Rýzmberk Castle is located near the town of Kdyně, in the Plzeň Region. The Gothic castle was built at the request of King Otakar II Přemysl in the second half of the 13th century. Diepold Schwihau von Riesenberg is mentioned as one of the first owners in 1279. At that time, the castle served to guard the pass on the Regensburger Steig on the main connection from Prague to Regensburg.

    Impressive entrance offers the - Vstupní brána - entrance gate to the former castle complex. The castle tower now serves as a lookout tower.
