Malhotice Chateau

One of the later owners, Jan Kropáč of Nevědomí, redeveloped the building into a two-wing Renaissance chateau, and the subsequent holder, Zdeněk Žampach of Potštejn, converted it into its present-day form. In 1996-1998 an overall reconstruction of the chateau took place, and nowadays it ranks amongst the most beautiful late Renaissance structures in Moravia. It is a seat of the Hranice Municipality, and the first floor houses a gallery. Thanks to its unique roofing, the courtyard serves as a venue for various cultural events.

Kunín Chateau

The castle was probably established at the end of the 13th century by the marauding knight Friduš (or Helfrid) of Linava who used the castle as a base for robbing merchants during the unsettled times that followed the murder of Wenceslas III, the last Přemyslide, in 1306. As Friduš's escapades could not be ignored, young King John of Luxemburg sent his troops to deal with the bandits. Although Friduš perished, he gave his name to the castle.[1] At the turn of the 14th century the Kravař family acquired it, after which it became the center of their extensive estates. During the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century the castle was remodelled as a Gothic fortress. The Lords of Kravař owned the castle until 1447, and it was then held mostly by a number of Moravian noble families, among them the Sovinec family, the Kostek of Postupice family, the Pernštejn, the Ludanice and the Vrbno family.[2] This unassailable structure withstood a number of sieges. It was an important Hussite bastion against the German catholic town of Olomouc and also acted in support of King George of Poděbrady against the Hungarian King Mathias Corvin who was unable to defeat the king's troops and capture the fortress in 1468.[2] Not even the Swedes and the Danes succeeded in capturing it during the Thirty Years' War.

Helfštýn Castle

After the abolition of the order in 1312, the castle came under the administration of the Czech King John of Luxembourg and, between 1333 and 1346, it was owned by the Moravian margrave Charles IV Wenceslas of Luxembourg, later the Roman Emperor and the King of Bohemia. From 1350 (since 1359 called castrum  Strallenberg), it was 25 later owned by the Moravian margrave John-Henry of Luxembourg, the founder of the town; then in 1375 it was taken over by his son, Jost of Luxembourg (1352-1411, the margrave of Moravia and Brandebourg). After 1380, the most important owners of the castle were members of the Moravian-Silesian branch of the family Benešovic, the lords of Kravaře (until 1433). After 1533 the castle started to deteriorate. Its oldest illustration (from 1722) shows a two-palace structure with farm buildings and two prismatic ramparts. In 1783, the outer part of the castle collapsed and the masonry was used for building purposes. The original height of the N-E fortification in the inner part of the castle remained unchanged. Between 1901 and 1903, its cylindrical tower called „bergfrit“ (height 40m, 10m in diameter) was covered with a roof and changed into a lookout designed by the famous Prague architect Kamil Hilbert. The outer ramparts were partly repaired and completed with two gates. A plaque designed by the sculptor František Juráň, was fitted into the fortification in memory of Adolf Hrstka M. D. (1864-1931, physician and former mayor of Štramberk and its indefatigable promoter). The gothic tower of the castle together with adjoining parts of the fortification (NKP) generally known as Trúba (local expression for round timber) dominantes the town. In 1994, it became its property.
