Rogozec Castle

Rogozets Castle is located in the eponymous district of the city of Turnov. The castle was founded in 1280 by the Marquartitz family and was originally a fortress.

From the second half of the 14th century, the fortress became owned by Marquart of Wartemberk, who often clashed with his neighbors. Each time it ended with Marquart attacking the wrongdoers, unleashing vain wars. King Wenceslas IV did not like this, and by siege he took the castle from Marquart. Until 1422 Rogozets belonged to the king. The castle has since changed several owners.

The castle acquired its current appearance in the 19th century during the capital restoration. Rogozets is now open to tourists.
