Lipnice Castle was founded around 1310 by the lords of Lichtenburg and rebuilt in the early 16th century by the Trčka of Lípa family as a late-Gothic residence. A devastating fire in 1869 turned it into a ruin; it is now managed by the National Heritage Institute. Visitors can explore the Gothic chapel of St. Lawrence, extensive cellars with the remains of a medieval banqueting hall, and a castle museum with archaeological finds. The castle is also known for its connection to writer Jaroslav Hašek, who worked here as a guide during his years in Lipnice.
