Sights
[edit ]
The main tourist destination is the Adršpach Castle in Dolní Adršpach. It is a small aristocratic residence, built for the Bohdanecký of Hodkov family in the Renaissance style at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries.[8] Today, the castle houses the Climbing Museum and expositions about life at the castle and about flax industry.[9]
A cultural monument is the ruin of the original Gothic castle, located on a hill above Dolní Adršpach. The castle was probably founded in the first half of the 14th century, but it was demolished in 1447, after being occupied by robbers. A few fragments have survived.[10]
The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is located in the centre of Horní Adršpach. It is a rare example of a Neoclassical church in the region, built in 1827–1831.[11]
