Hrad Helfštýn

Castle Helfštýn

Týn nad Bečvou

Helfštýn Castle was founded in the 13th century on a ridge above the Bečva River valley, to protect the main road to Silesia. It supposedly carries the name of the predatory knight Helfried (Friduš) of Linava, who founded it. It was intentionally demolished in the 17th century. Today tourists can view its extensive system of fortifications, with six gates, many towers, buildings, walls and a series of ramparts.
