Czech Republic · 13th century
Lipý is a castle ruin in the center of Česká Lípa in the Liberec Region. The original 13th-century Gothic moated castle was rebuilt in the 17th century as a Renaissance chateau, most of which was demolished after the Second World War. After 1995 the remains of the original castle have been maintained and the grounds are used for the town's cultural events. It is protected as a cultural monument.
