Castle and Fort Jindřichovice
First note of the village comes from 1381, when Drha, also called Černobýl (after the Artemisia vulgaris herb) or Dobrohost (freely translated as a good host) died here. Sezima Prostibořský (good luck pronouncing this if you are not Czech) rebuilt the fortress to a two-winged castle in the second half of the 16th century. The round tower is the only thing left of the original fortress. Storks are annually nesting on top of it. Janovští from Janov owned the farmhouse from 1689 to 1796. They built a brand new baroque castle right next to the old renaissance one in the first half of the 18th century. Both castles are separated by a thin street. The castle is shaped like a letter L. Longer arm of the building neighbours the former farm buildings of the manor’s yard. Both buildings were decaying quite a lot up until 1989, but now both of them are carefully renovated by their private owners. There is also a St. Wenceslaus chapel from the second part of the 19th century and St. Anne chapel in the village.

Jindřichovice fortress
Being a mid 14th century fortress with period equipment, Jindřichovice fortress has been proclaimed a national heritage. It's current form comes from a renaissance renovation from years 1618 - 1621. Since that time, no major adjustments has been done to the building, making it one of the most major and best conserved early renaissance buildings in Czechia. Don't miss out on an opportunity to be accommodated in a place where history walked through.
