| Short description | Ruins of a Gothic keep, connected with archbishop Jan from Jenštejn. It was built in the first half of the 14th century, abandoned after 1583, slowly wasting away and turning into a ruin. Renovated and opened for public in 1977. |
| Expositions | In treasury building expositions of aviatic archeology, discoveries from Jenštejn surroundings, keep history and Jan from Jemnštejn expositions, chapel with crossing vault in the 3rd floor, staircase of the width of a wall leads to tower with an outlook. |
| Valuation | This is a nice example of a rather small fortified Medieval keep. Eventhough it is small in its area, it is unique with its architecture, especially with bossed masonry which was common among larger mansions. |
