Šaunštejn Castle is a rock castle near Vysoká Lípa in the Bohemian Switzerland in the Czech Republic. Today only a few ruins remain of the original castle. Preserved are the foundations of the wooden superstructure, several rooms that were chiselled-out of the rock and the cistern.The castle was built by the Berka z Dubé family from Lípa in the 14th century to protect the Old Bohemian Road , the trade route from Bohemia to Lusatia. From 1435 it belonged to the Wartenbergs who used it as a base for raids. In the 15th century it was besieged several times by the Wettins and the Lusatian League and finally destroyed.
