Tvrz is a fortified house in Volfartice, Czech Republic, built around 1400 and representing a blend of Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles. Designated a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, the structure exemplifies the defensive residential architecture of late medieval Bohemia, when landowners combined domestic comfort with fortification features to protect their holdings during a period of regional instability.
