An extensive ruin on an elevation near Nový Jičín with a tower that serves as an observation tower and a restaurant.

Hrad Starý Jičín, an extensive ruin on a hill near Nový Jičín, ranks among the oldest monuments in Moravia. It was founded at the end of the 12th or the beginning of the 13th century, with the first written mention dating back to 1240, likely by the Hückeswagen family. It originally served as a solid provincial castle for the protection of a trade route, the so-called Jantarová stezka, and due to its strategic location and wide view, it primarily fulfilled a military role. Its significance began to decline after the Thirty Years' War, when it gradually fell into disrepair. In 1996, the castle tower was reconstructed by the municipality, and it is now accessible as an observation tower with a beautiful view of the wide surroundings, for example of the town of Nový Jičín. A stylish restaurant is located on the ground floor of the tower, and a period exhibition of armour and documents about the castle is installed on the upper floors.

Access

The castle is located in the village of Starý Jičín in the Moravskoslezský kraj region. By car, you can reach it from the D1 motorway (exit 311) towards Nový Jičín, from where you continue along local roads. The tour route begins below the castle. For bus transport, the nearest stop is Starý Jičín, where regional connections stop. From the stop, it is necessary to count on a walk uphill to the castle. Parking is possible at designated car parks below the castle.

What is worth knowing

In the vicinity of the castle is the historical town of Nový Jičín, which has been declared an urban monument reservation. Visitors may visit the Žerotínský zámek with the exhibitions of the Muzeum Novojičínska, or take a walk around the square with its historical houses and arcades.
