Svihov - October 2006

(Klatovy Region)A very well-kept Gothic lowland castle with an cleverly thought-out fortifications and water moats. It replaced an older fort from the first half of the 14th century. Puta Svihovsky from Ryzmberk and his two sons accomplished a complete late-Gothic redevelopment and a great architect, Benedict Rejt, designed the flawless outer defences, among other things.
