Chateau| Description: | Perhaps as early as the first half of the 15th century the owners of the Potštejn domain built an aristocratic estate with a fortress to replace the run-down castle on the hill above the small town; the remains of this fortress can be identified today in the cellar of the chateau. The growth in the importance of the estate and fortress required substantial expansion of the fortress and reconstruction in the Renaissance style. |
