The castle stands on a hill above the town of JavornÃk in the north-western edge of Czech Silesia, in area what was a part of the Duchy of Nysa. For most of its history the castle belonged to the Prince-bishops of Breslau (WrocÅ‚aw) in Silesia. History The castle is first mentioned in written sources in 1307, when it was still the property of the Princes of Åšwidnica.
