Vítkův Hrádek – old castle

Highlight • Castle

In Svatý Tomáš there is not only a beautiful old church, but also the ruins of Wittinghausen (Czech: Vítkův Kámen). It is worth climbing up to it: A lookout tower opens up a view of the Bohemian Forest, the Moldaustausee, the Sternstein, and on clear days even the Alps.

Adalbert Stifter Memorial Plaque

Highlight • Monument

Boulder with a bronze plaque by Hans Rathausky (1902) in memory of Adalbert Stifter, who often visited Frymburk because of his childhood sweetheart Fanny Greipl. The only reminder of the love story is the gravestone of Fanny's parents on the church wall facing the ferry.

Frymburk Town Square

Highlight • Settlement

The fountain in the middle of the square in the park is fed by this artificial stream. On its eastern side, the year 1676 and the Rosenberg five-leaf rose are carved. At the same time, we know that the last Rosenberg died in 1611 and Frymburk and the entire estate were handed over to their nephew Jan Zrinský in 1600. In 1676, Frymburk belonged to the Buquoys, who exercised their feudal rights here until the abolition of serfdom in 1848. The fountain was also moved in 1853, when it originally stood on the other side of the stream.
