Svihov

Švihov lies along the Úhlava River, in the gently rolling, agricultural countryside of southwestern Bohemia. The town is defined by Švihov Castle, a late-Gothic water castle whose broad moats and fortified layout make it one of Czechia’s best-known examples of this building type. Construction began in the late 15th century for Půta Švihovský of Rýzmberk, and the complex still preserves its imposing defensive character. Set between the larger centres of Klatovy and Plzeň, Švihov provides a quieter encounter with the historical landscape of the Plzeň Region.
