Nasavrky Castle

The Church of Saint Giles was built in the Gothic style in the 14th century. After a fire in 1740, Baroque modifications were made. [5]

The Nasavrky Castle is a late Renaissance building from around 1600. It was built on the site of an old Gothic fortress. It has a valuable entrance hall with Renaissance portals. Originally it served as a summer residence of the Auersperg family, later there were apartments and offices. Today it serves cultural and social purposes and there is an exposition about the life of the Celts. [6]

Země keltů (Land of Celts) is an open-air museum presenting life in a Celtic settlement, which was once in the territory of the Iron Mountains. [7]
