Helfštýn, Medieval castle ruin in Týn nad Bečvou, Czech Republic.
The castle complex stretches across four accessible courtyards, featuring five gates, multiple bastions, towers, and an extensive fortification system spanning the hilltop location.
Founded in 1306, the castle served as a strategic fortress during the Hussite wars and underwent substantial modifications under the Pernštejn family in the 16th century.
The castle hosts the annual Hefaiston event, gathering blacksmiths who create metal artworks displayed in the palace basement exhibition space.
The castle maintains seasonal opening hours and offers online ticket purchasing options, with regular guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the day.
The castle basement houses a permanent collection of metal artwork crafted during international blacksmith workshops, representing various artistic styles and techniques.
