Silesian Ostrava Castle

Silesian Ostrava Castle (Czech: Slezskoostravský hrad) is a castle located in Ostrava, in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic.

It was originally built in the 1280s for military purposes, near the confluence of the Lučina and Ostravice rivers, near the Polish border.

[1][better source needed] In 2004, it was repaired after many years of dilapidation, caused by coal mining under the castle.

[citation needed] Until 2012, the castle hosted the Colours of Ostrava festival.
