Information about the Kaltenštejn Castle Ruins

The Kaltenštejn Castle Ruins, sometimes referred to as Hradisko, are located near the village of Černá Voda and about 2 km from the settlement of Nové Podhradí.

History of the Castle

Kaltenštejn Castle, founded around 1250, boasts a strategic location on the rocky top of a conical hill. It was an important medieval fortress with massive walls and a tower up to 4 meters thick. In the past, it went through several military conflicts and after 1505 it was abandoned and partially dismantled. Today, the castle is mainly preserved from the torso of the tower and the remains of the castle walls, which are surrounded by forest deposits.
