Zámek Jánský Vrch
Czechia
Whether you climb the footpath from the town of Javorník or approach by road, the castle reveals itself as a long, compact oval of buildings stretched north to south, their rooflines held at an even height and broken only by a small clock tower. The hill it stands on is not high above sea level, but it stands out in the landscape, and that prominence made it strategically valuable. You will see it named Jánský Vrch, Janský Vrch or, in German, Johannesberg and formerly Johannisberg. Until 1945 this was the summer residence of the bishops and archbishops of Wrocław. It now belongs to the state, is cared for by the National Heritage Institute, and is open to visitors.
