About

Kokořín Castle (hrad Kokořín) is a castle located in Kokořín in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It was built in the first half of the 14th century by order of Hynek Berka of Dubá. It was heavily damaged during the Hussite Wars and stood in ruins until the reconstruction campaign of 1911–1918. It was nationalised in 1948 and has been designated a national cultural monument since 2001. The Kokořínsko – Máchův kraj Protected Landscape Area takes its name from this castle.
