Hasistejn - September 2006

(Chomutov Region) A ruin of a castle hidden in the Krusne Mountains built at the beginning of the 14h century on an important route. The Lobkowicz family carried out an extensive late-Gothic reconstruction, converting it into an ostentatious residence with a big library and a collection of astrological paraphernalia. After a fire in 1560, the castle gradually dilapidated; the tower now used as a viewpoint.
