Grabstein Castle

Grabstein Castle is located in the Czech city of Grabstein and was built in the XIII century, in the Gothic style. Over the centuries, the architecture of the castle was changed, and now we see the construction of the XVI century in the Renaissance style.

The main building of the castle, made of white stone in the form of a diamond, is a round tower with an original top in the form of a helmet, which offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area. The attraction of the castle complex is the chapel of St. Barbara of the XVI century, which preserved original frescoes and heraldic motifs. The park around the castle was created in the Gothic and Renaissance style, and was restored in the early XIX century.

Grabstein Castle passed from one owner to another until 1945, when it was confiscated by the state. Now in the restored castle, which was opened in 1993 for tourists, you can see interesting interiors dedicated to different historical figures and periods of history. In the basement of the castle there are expositions acquainting visitors with local crafts, and an ancient forge. Grabstein Castle is included in the list of national monuments of the country.
