Šaunštejn is the remains of a rock castle built probably in the 14th century. The castle stood on a top sandstone rock formation, the wooden structures are of course not preserved, but there are rooms carved into the rock. During the Thirty Years War the castle was inhabited by marauding knights. At present you can climb to the top of the rock thanks to several ladders and catwalks.
