Czech Republic · 13th century
Mírov is a castle located on a rocky spur above the village of the same name, Mírov, 5 km northwest of Mohelnice. The village and castle gave their name to the wooded highland (Mírovská) that surrounds them, a subrange of the Zábřeh Highlands. The castle today serves as a prison. Since 1964 it has been protected as a cultural monument.
