Švihov castle is situated in the town of the same name, approximately 10km from Klatovy, in the Úhlava river valley. A fortress was first founded here at the beginning of the 14th century and a century later it was turned into a majestic castle. As many other castles, after the thirty-years-war it started to decay and became a ruin. In 1949 a large reconstruction was carried out and the castle regained its original appearance.
