Grabštejn

Grabštejn is a castle in the border region combining Renaissance and Neoclassical elements within its fortified structure and residential quarters. The layout includes multiple salons, halls, living rooms, and bedrooms that visitors can explore through guided tours.

The castle originated in the 13th century and underwent significant transformation under Georg Mehl von Strelitz in 1566. The Clam-Gallas family maintained ownership until 1945.

The St. Barbara chapel displays Renaissance frescoes from the 16th century, featuring elaborate depictions of figures, animals, and heraldic symbols across its ceiling and walls.

The castle is accessible through organized tours that take visitors through its various rooms and spaces. Parking facilities and accessibility options are available to accommodate different visitor needs.

From the castle tower, visitors can see the borders of three countries at once: the Czech Republic, Germany, and Poland. This rare viewpoint offers a memorable perspective on the intersection of three neighboring regions.
