Frýdštejn Castle
Hrad Frýdštejn
A medieval rock-castle ruin built on sandstone pillars, whose tower lookout offers views of Ještěd Mountain and the Jizera Valley.
The castle was built in the 14th century, and some of its rooms are carved directly into sandstone. The surviving round tower can be climbed for views of Ještěd, Suchý Rock and Trosky Castle. The surrounding area is the Frýdštejn rock town, and trails lead from here to Malá Skála and the Pantheon rock castle. The castle is fairly small, has a small entrance fee, and is open in summer. It lies about 10 km from Turnov.
Opening hours
May–Sep approx. 09:00–17:00; open weekends in April and October
