Cornštejn Castle is located in the center of the recreational area of Vranov Dam, in the cadastral area of Bítov.

The castle was built in the 14th century near the confluence of the Dyje and Želetavka rivers and ceased to be inhabited in the 16th century. The extensive ruin is now considered one of the most romantic places in South Moravia.
