The Roštejn Castle
Originally a Gothic border castle was converted into a Renaissance palace in hunting-lodge style in 16th century. After a great fire in 1915 the castle was deserted and turned into a ruin; it was only in 1958 that total restoration began. The castle is a seat of the branch of Highland Museum (history of the castle, etnography, the countryside of the Jihlava Hills, pewter making and stone cutting at the Highland). One part of the former game preserve creates a botanic garden which contains dozens of protected species. The historical feast has been annually held at the castle courtyard as well as traditional Jazz Festival.
