A citizens’ initiative

About us

A group of people who care about the fate of the oldest stone castle in Bohemia.

Who we are

Spolek pro hrad Přimda, z.s.

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.

Our goal

A viewing platform inside the tower

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.

Planning

Surveying the tower, a structural assessment, the design and talks with heritage authorities and other offices.

Construction

A sensitive structure inside the tower that leaves the historic masonry untouched.

Opening to visitors

A view across the land, information panels and a castle that lives again.
