Ruin of castle Dívcí hrady
Remains of once significant castle called Devicky or Divci hrady, Maidberk (Maidenburg) is located westward of the village Pavlov, on sheer almost inaccessible rock about 1 kilometer from the highest peak of Palava - Devin. The castle stayed in lord’s possession because of its position. The ruins are nowadays consisted from irregular rectangle - 65 meters long and 20 meters wide closed by an extra stout fortification wall. They are still the dominant of surrounding hills. The destruction came with Swedish in 1645 after the triumphal battle in Jenkov. Swedish burnt out and plundered the castle.
