Hrádeček

Hrádeček (to 1950: Silberštejn, German: Silberstein) is a village and cadastral community, part of the Vlčice municipality. Václav Havel bought a country house there in the late 1960s, he lived there in 1974 and 1975 (when he worked at the nearby Trutnov brewery)[2] and died there in 2011.
