Short descriptionFirst mention about Hrádek (called Starý Stráňov among people) is already form 1279. By then it was most likely still wooden and served as a defense to nearby trail. It was always under the possession of small aristocracy from its surroundings. Abandoned during the 15th century and has been turning into a ruin ever since. Partially used for constructional material by local people. Several houses were also built right into the areal.
ExpositionsA part of the keep building with window halls preserved. The areal is disvalued by built-in houses with fore-gardens.
Interesting detailVáclac Myška from Hrádek, one of the owners, was Jan Hus's supporter and accompanied him to the Council of Constance.
ValuationThis is a romantically situated ruin of lower aristocracy's rather small mansion. The ruins were disvalued in the past by built-in houses and it was also partially brought to pieces. This is not to be visited on its own, more suitable for a short stop.
