Fryštát, Gothic and Renaissance castle in Karviná, Czech Republic
The castle stands on basalt rock foundations with a primary building complex featuring Neo-classical architectural elements from renovations completed in 1800.
The castle began as a wooden Gothic structure built by the Piastov family, until a fire in 1511 led to its reconstruction in Renaissance style.
The castle exhibits 65 furnished rooms containing period furniture, decorative arts, and one of the largest collections of copper and tin vessels in the Czech Republic.
Visitors can explore the castle exclusively through guided tours lasting two hours, which include access to the Knight's Hall and Renaissance courtyard with sgraffito decorations.
The castle kitchen maintains an extensive collection of historical cooking vessels, representing centuries of Czech aristocratic culinary traditions.
