Kámen is one of the most extensive and well-preserved medieval
monuments in the Czech Republic. The are of the castle was declared a
natural reservation and is part of the Protected Landscape Area of
Blanský les (Blansko Forest). The place is made even more attractive
by a nearby Celt oppidum (fortified settlement) whose importance and
size make it unique in Europe. The castle was founded by the
Rosenberg family in 1349 and abandoned by them in 1506. Five hundred
years later it came into the ownership of the village of Křemže.
Currently, the castle is open all year round. Concerts, historical
presentations, fencing and theatre, medieval markets and fairs,
lectures and exhibitions are held within the castle.
