Azure Magazine

By the 17th century, it was an almost impregnable fortress. Already a historic complex dating to the 1300s, the imposing Helfštýn was gradually expanded to become one of the largest strongholds in a land of castles, asserting its dominance on a hillside above the Moravian Gate Valley.
