Castle Loket [ Castle or ruin of castle ]
This castle was built in the first decade of the thirteenth century on a rocky island, which was also the exact center of the region.
The oldest section of the castle were originally a Roman round-church. In the sixteenth century extensive repairs were undertaken, but despite the significant modifications it continued to serve only as a round- church.
In the first decade of the nineteenth century the castle was turned into a prison. Currently it serves as an exhibition hall and museum.
