Ruins of castle by F. A. Heber - Stary Rybnik, Czech Republic - Paintings Then and Now on Waymarking.com

The ruins of Starý Rybník castle are located on a tiny rocky ridge between two ponds at the village of Starý Rybník in the district of Cheb. The castle was probably founded sometime during later part of the 14th century.
The castle had remained unchanged and had been probably inhabited until a fire in 1792 when a part of the castle became a ruin. Nonetheless, the entrance building had remained in use up to the early 20th century when it was abandoned and gradually tumbled down.
