The small village Myšenec is situated about 2 km north of the town Protivín on the Blanice river, 396 m a.s.l.

The Gothic castle was founded in the village in the 13th century. It was not used for defence and it soon changed to a hunters' residence. In the 17th century it was abandoned. Then it was used as a source of material for building the village and it became ruins. Only a few remains have been preserved up till this day; the remains of the wall and the gateway arch became part of new houses.
Originally the Romanesque St. Gall's Church originates from the 11th century and it is the work of the same workshop as the palace and chapel in the Zvíkov and Písek castles. Around 1270 the church was reconstructed in the Gothic style. It was fortified and connected with the castle.
Headstones with frescos of saints have been preserved along the cemetery wall.

The so-called Myšenecká Slunce (Myšenec Suns) can be seen in the village. They are spokes of thurmaline in the shape of sun in the rock. The similar formations can be found on the way of the nature trail Sudslavická Stezka (Sudslavice Path), which leads around the village Sudslavice near the town Vimperk.

The instructional trail Myšenecké Slunce (Myšenec Sun) leads through the village and its surroundings.
The originally medieval Klokočín fortress stands about 2 km south-east of Myšenec above the Blanice river.
