Hamrštejn, Gothic castle ruins in Machnín, Czech Republic.
The remains of Hamrštejn include two towers and sections of the outer wall, positioned on a ridge overlooking the Lusatian Neisse river valley.
The Lords of Bieberstein constructed this defensive structure around 1350 to protect trade routes leading to Zittau before its capture by Hussite forces in 1433.
The architectural elements of Hamrštejn demonstrate the influence of medieval Gothic construction techniques common in northern Bohemian fortifications during the 14th century.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins via train to Machnín hrad station or by following the Odra-Neisse cycle path number 20 through the region.
Near the castle stands a manually operated cable ferry across the Lusatian Neisse river, one of only eight remaining such transportation systems in operation.
