The ruins of Valdek Castle (just Valdek in Czech) can be found in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, near the town of Komárov.
The name is probably derived from two German words: Wald (the forest) and Eck (a widespread part of places' names, meaning rock formation).The castle was built around the middle of the 13th century (first written mention comes from the year 1263) by an aristocratic family called Buzic. In 1623 it was described as abandoned. Passing centuries left only ruins, dominated by a still standing large round tower (bergfrit), built during the second half of the 13th century.
