Ruins of Fürstenwalde Castle

Fürstenwalde Castle used to stand on the top of Castle Mountain above Vrbno pod Pradědem. It was built as early as the 14th century and its first owner had a hunting and resting place here.

The castle changed hands and one of the lords of the castle was Prince Vladislav of Opole. One of the smaller battles with the Hussites, who did not conquer the castle, took place under the castle. Already in the sixteenth century the castle was falling into disrepair and becoming an uninhabited ruin. Today there are several original walls that remind us of this Gothic castle.
