Pravda Castle

About

Pravda Castle is a castle ruin on a hill in Pnětluky in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic.

The current castle was built around 1500 by Jan Mašťovský, though it may have been built on a much older foundation. The first written mention of Pravda is from 1518. At the time of construction it was a very modern and strong fortress. During the 16th century the importance of the castle diminished, resulting in its abandonment. [ citation needed ]

In modern times it has become a target for tourists and a place of meetings and festivals, during the 20th century, the castle's structure deteriorated significantly and attempts are being made to stabilize it.
