A heritage-protected area with the remains of a Gothic mansion dating from the 14th century, which consisted of an upper and a lower castle. Parts of the tower-shaped palace of the upper castle and the remains of the outer fortifications are still preserved here.

The Gothic castle ruins Košťál/ Kostial: Legendary how high and steep they tower over the rocky abyss! It seems: Our entire world of knight images seems to have come from Bohemia.

Košťálov Castle is located just a few kilometers west of Lovosice. Its ruins, standing on a massive rock pile, which is one of the dominant features of the Bohemian Central Mountains, can be seen from afar and dominate the village of Jenčice.
