Ruins of Rychvald Castle

            An isolated 14th Century castle on a very steep 
heavily accessible rock. It was founded sometime around 1360, but soon besieged in 1375, seized and demolished by troops from Brno, possibly because the construction was not officially allowed by the markgrave of Moravia. The owners soon restored it and used for some decades, the last written metion of the castle being inhabited is from 1437. It was probably abandoned in half of the 15th Century, when the owners settled in a much comfortable fortress in the nearby city. Today not much remains, but the structure is still well recognizable. Not many tourists try to climb up, when they see the killing hill from it´s base.
