Planning
Surveying the tower, a structural assessment, the design and talks with heritage authorities and other offices.
A citizens’ initiative
A group of people who care about the fate of the oldest stone castle in Bohemia.
The association was founded to build an internal viewing platform at Přimda, the oldest castle in the Czech lands. It is a citizens’ initiative of people passionate about history, Přimda, the Plzeň Region and the Český les hills.
We are neither an institution nor a company. We are people who grew up beneath that tower, who go there for walks, or who came to see it once and could not forget it. We share the conviction that a nine-hundred-year-old building deserves more than a sign by the path.
Anyone can take part – with a donation or with their own hands.
Inside the castle tower we want to build a viewing platform with a walkway. Today visitors stand beneath bare walls; once it is finished they will be able to climb up and look out over the treetops – to the Český les hills, the town below the rock and the ridges across the border. The walkway will also let people see the masonry of the tower up close, including the surviving garderobe.

A sensitive structure inside the tower that leaves the historic masonry untouched.
A view across the land, information panels and a castle that lives again.
Any amount helps. The money goes towards planning and building the internal viewing platform.
Work parties at the castle, looking after the grounds, helping at public events. Every pair of hands is welcome.
Builders, structural engineers, historians, archivists, designers and translators – experience is as valuable as money.
Tell your friends about the castle, share our website, bring visitors to Přimda. People’s interest is our greatest support.
