Sion is a castle ruin in Chlístovice in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It lies near Kutná Hora. It was established in the 15th century by Jan Roháč of Dubá. Sion Castle was used for a short time before it was besieged and subsequently destroyed. The site was investigated by archaeologists in the 20th century. Today, only scattered parts of the basement stone walls with some arches and stairs remain of the original castle.
