Region Lanškrounsko

Mladějovské hradisko, also Mladějovský týn (“týn” was the word for medieval fortified settlement, fortress) – in 11th and 12th century, there was old-Slavonic settlement.
In Mladějov settlement, there was family castle of Mladějovský z Mladějova who was appointed new Moravian municipal notary in 1372.

This settlement is situated on the Hřebečovský Ridge spur (591 m above sea level) that steeply falls into Lanškrounská Basin from three sides. From west side, access to settlement was protected by deep fosse.

Towards the close of the 13th century and in the 14th century this territory was attacked by marauding knights and peace was restored only after punitive expeditions sent by Czech king. During these expeditions residences of wanton nobles were flattened. Up to now only wall segments and scarcely visible marks of buildings in terrain were preserved.
Nearby northern Mirand Hill (640 m above sea level) is connected with story about unfortunate love and death of daughter of knight from Mladějov settlement. On the hillside of southern Mladějovský Hill (647 m above sea level) we can find one of the most spacious areas of freely growing common yew in the Central Europe; in the settlement round the castle we can find technical interest – narrow-gauged railway offering weekend trips by little train.
