A small historical monument "Château de Niederstinzel" left to its sad fate, surrounded by a river and an organic farm. Very nice view in the distance, parcontre path inaccessible for the disabled, strollers or others. The only way to get there is on foot and a few jumps to pass because there are trenches around. Otherwise I advise you not to approach it because of the risk of falling rocks. Considering his condition. A question bothers me, where are the debris that fell??? No trace...

It's not worth going especially for it. Passing by, you can look in, grabbing a couple of sandwiches. Nature and good view guaranteed!

I have known this castle for a very long time and I find it a pity that no association takes care of this historic work. And for others there are thousands of euros (notre dames) thank you.

Place in the countryside, abandoned, too bad because a few years ago people participated in the restoration ....

Could not get to castle due to an electric fence. Couldn't see a way to visit a bit disappointing.

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
