Hrad Rabí: Largest Castle in the Czech Republic



Although much of it is in ruins now, Hrad Rabí, or Castle Rabi, has been the largest castle in the Czech Republic for centuries now. The castle is a sublime example of Gothic and Romanesque architecture and the lasting icon of the Plzen Region. Moreover, it towers over the town of Rabí. While the town has only 500 official inhabitants, it is a popular tourist attraction because of Hrad Rabí. The town center is also on the preservation list due to its historic identity and structure.

There are different views on the meaning of the name Hrad Rabí. Some think that the name of the castle comes from the word “raven” in German while some believe that it means “sparrow’s peak.” Either way, it is obvious that the castle’s name points out to its location on the higher plains.
