Preserving Pirkštejn Castle: Bringing History Full CirclePerched above the Sázava River, Pirkštejn Castle has stood as a silent witness to centuries of Czech history. Built around 1350 by Jan of Lipá, the castle once guarded vital trade and pilgrimage routes. Over time, it lost its strategic role, passing through noble families and gradually falling into disrepair.Image by RyukaiFor fans of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Pirkštejn is more than a historical landmark, it’s a living part of the game’s world. Players experience the castle firsthand during key story moments, defending it and uncovering its secrets alongside characters like Henry of Skalitz and Hans Capon. Over time, Pirkštejn also becomes Henry’s home, a place of refuge that anchors his journey within the broader conflict.Now, the real-world castle needs help. Reconstruction work, starting with the belfry roof, is already underway, led by the local parish in Rataje nad Sázavou. To support this effort, we are launching a fundraising initiative tied to the Steam Medieval Fest, running from April 20 to April 26, 2026. For every copy of the KCD base game sold, 1 USD will be donated toward preserving Pirkštejn Castle.This initiative is more than a fundraiser, it’s a continuation of a long-standing relationship. During the development of the first game, local partners, including the Sázava Monastery, provided invaluable access and historical insight. Since then, the area has become a destination for fans from around the world.By contributing to the restoration of Pirkštejn, we want to reinforces our commitment to historical authenticity, strengthens ties with the local community, and invite players to reconnect with the origins of the Kingdom Come experience.Support the restoration with a purchase of KCD during the Medieval Fest!With over 11 milions of copies of Kingdom Come: Deliverance sold, the potential impact is significant.
