The castle Kamýk (German Kamaik) is located in the south of the Bohemian Uplands in northern Bohemia (Czech Republic). From the small castle, only a few parts of the palace and the residential tower located on a steep basalt rock are preserved. Despite the small remnants, Kamýk Castle is one of the most striking examples of medieval castle construction in northern Bohemia.

The remains of the medieval castle Kamýk stand on a steep rock at an altitude of 382 meters above the village of the same name. The castle was built by King John of Luxembourg to protect the road to Litoměřice. At the same time, the castle also served as a signaling function.
