Fort Bošovice
A two-winged gothique fort built around 1425, to replace an older wooden fort destroyed in the Hussite wars. It was originally made of three individual stone buildings connected by a wooden barricade, a renaissance modernization in 1480 connected all parts into one stone fort, the trench and ground wall were eliminated later. The fort was used for many purposes through the centuries, mostly for management of the county and a post office. The state took over in 1948 and the building decayed, many restoration efforts were started but mostly did not help (in 1987 a try to change it into a hotel severely damaged the interior through insensitive modifications). After 1989 the fort had to be returned to heirs of the last owner, but a legal battle lasted for many years and ended in 2010. Today restoration efforts by the newest owner are underway, but the future is unsure.
