Pravda Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remains of Pravda Castle can be found on the hill above village Pnětluky in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. The name literally means as the truth.
The first document to mention Pravda was written in 1380[citation needed]. Today's castle was built probably during second half of 15th century on top of prehistoric fortification. At time of construction it was very modern and strong fortress. During 16th century importance of the castle diminished resulting in its abandonment.
In modern times, it became a target for tourists and a place of meetings and festivals. During the last century, the castle's structure has deteriorated significantly. Attempts are being made to stabilize it.
