About
Sirotčí hrádek (also Sirotčí hrad, Sirotčí hrady or Růžový hrad; German: Waisenstein or Rosenstein) is a ruin of a Gothic castle in the municipality Klentnice in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. The origins of the castle date back to the 13th century, when it was built by the Wehingen family; the castle then belonged to the Liechtensteins and the Dietrichsteins, before being abandoned in the 16th century. It has been protected as a cultural monument since 1958.
