Sights
The main landmark of Nový Hrádek is the Church of Saints Peter and Paul. It dates from the 18th century. The church was designed by Jan Santini Aichel.[6]
The ruin of the Frymburk Castle is locate on a hill west of the market town. The castle dates from the 14th century; existence of the castle was first documented in 1354. The castle was burned down in peasant rebellions in 1626 and 1629, and then burned down by the Swedish army in 1638. In 1659, the ruin was demolished. The castle was then restored, used as a hunting lodge and maintained until the mid-18th century. At the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, the roof was taken down and the castle was definitely abandoned.[7]
