Cornštejn Castle
Hrad Cornštejn
The ruins of a 14th-century castle on a promontory by the shore of Vranov Reservoir, facing Bítov Castle across the water.
Cornštejn Castle was built in the early 14th century to control a border crossing on the Dyje River, and it was abandoned after the 17th century. The ruins preserve tall walls, towers and several gateways, and climbing up offers views over the reservoir. It is open to visitors in summer, and medieval swordsmanship and knightly displays are often staged. Admission is about 100 Czech koruna. It can be combined with a visit to Bítov Castle on the same morning.
Opening hours
Approx. May–Sep 10:00–17:00
