A stay in Rožnov can be planned around the landscape, local history, and practical routes. The valley is home to the two localities of Rožnov and Neznášov; the Jordán stream flows through Rožnov, and the medieval castle site of Rotemberg is near Neznášov. Historical dates, archaeological finds, and transport information add different planning perspectives to this picture. Rotemberg brings together its founding history and archaeological finds.

Valley, Hills, and the Jordán Stream

Rožnov and its associated locality of Neznášov extend across a valley with several hills: Chloumek, Prašivka, Bezděk, and Libina. These four names give the shared valley a specific geographic framework. The Jordán stream flows through Rožnov, adding a more precisely located point of reference to this overview. The valley and hills describe Rožnov and Neznášov together, while the stream’s course is specifically in Rožnov. For travel planning, these are two different scales: a shared landscape and a named route through the locality.

Two Early Local References

Neznášov was first mentioned in 1371. The first written mention of Rožnov dates from July 5, 1387; at that time, Rožnov belonged to the fortress in Rtyně. The dates refer to different historical details: 1371 concerns the first mention of Neznášov, while the 1387 entry records both the written mention and Rožnov’s affiliation with the fortress at that time. This allows the early histories of the localities to be considered side by side without treating the two dates as the same event.

Rotemberg: Castle Site and Archaeological Finds

The medieval castle of Rotemberg was founded and built near Neznášov by Bavor of Neznášov. During archaeological work at the Rotemberk site in 1978, stone and brick masonry remains and pottery from the 14th and 15th centuries were uncovered. The two time references should be distinguished: 1978 is the date of the archaeological work, while the 14th and 15th centuries date the pottery. The Hrad Neznášov/Rotemberk site historically belonged to Neznášov. A relief-like remnant of the fortification survives; the remains of a round tower are conjectured. The fortification remnant is identified as a surviving feature, while the round tower remains a conjecture.
