Kočičí hrádek, Miniature castle in Slatiňany, Czech Republic
The stone fortress stands on a quartzite rock formation with walls measuring less than one meter in height, making it perfectly sized for children.
Princess Vilemína of Auersperg commissioned the construction of this small castle between 1898 and 1901 as an entertainment structure for her children.
Children participate in simulated medieval battles using pine cones, maintaining a tradition of imaginative play that spans generations at this location.
The site connects to marked hiking trails from Slatiňany, offering visitors a straightforward 40-minute exploration route through the surrounding landscape.
Following vandalism in April 2012, the community organized fundraising events, including a benefit concert, to restore this miniature architectural monument.
