Come with us on a journey to discover the secrets of Czech (but also a little Moravian and Lusatian) castles. The proud residences of the monarch and important nobles, guardians of the country's border and trade routes, sometimes preserved, sometimes demolished by conquerors and bitten by the teeth of time. They both tell their stories and the stories of their owners to those who will listen. Stories sometimes heroic, sometimes full of betrayal and plots. The author of the book has dedicated his entire life to journeys through castles and shares his experiences and knowledge with those interested in the history of our country, which is so rich in the heritage of our ancestors. The three dozen castles in this publication are selected according to a simple criterion: they are not objects familiar to every child, but at the same time there is "something" about them for visitors to see. The book contains a lot of remarkable facts and interesting facts, but it is, nevertheless, a written confession in a light form of a person who is not indifferent to national history or the fate of the monuments it has left us here. Get in the mood for a trip and getting to know Czech settlements!
