CENTRE OF THE IRON MOUNTAINS
Castle Švihov [ Castle or ruin of castle ]
The castle was built in the place of an old stronghold at the end of the 15th century in a late gothic style.
The castle had strong fortifications complemented by moats and leats.
In 1598 it got into the possession of Černíns who had it, however, converted into out-buildings.
In 1928 it was even declared a ruin. It was only in 1949 that a renewal of the castle was started.
