A ruin of the Gothic castle on the highly visible hill stands out above the horizon in the fertile plain of the Elbe valley in East Bohemia. It used to be higher, but during the centuries the stone was extracted and used, for example, for constructions in the nearby town Pardubice. At the end the quarry slumped and took part of the castle’s area with it.
The pillory is located at the inner courtyard of the castle.
Type of Device: a wooden pillory
What is the approximate age?: 01/01/1900
