Rabštejn Castle

Rabštejn Castle was the highest castle in historic Moravia and was built at the beginning of the thirteenth century.

Its location basically meant its doom, because one of the last aristocratic owners, Petr of Žerotín, the lord of Šumperk, decided to build a new modern mansion in the form of a chateau in Janovice. 

His servants, especially the manager of the local forests, still lived in Rabštejn.

Today, the castle resembles a few stone walls overgrown in the forest on a rocky spur. 

It is still worth a visit, however, as the views of the mountains open up and tourists can feel the strategic location of the original castle.
