I only saw from a distance

The castle is located in Wächterburg on the shopping street Eger - Asch - in Central Germany. It was a fort in the 17th century, surrounded by a baroque castle. Now runs the restoration; unfortunately very long. The castle served as a guard castle on the trade route Eger - Asch - to central Germany. It was later a fortress until it was rebuilt in the 17th century as a Baroque castle. Recovery is now in progress; unfortunately very slow.

Castle Park ?. Unfortunately, the chateau is half-ruined.

The torso of the castle at the end of the republic is not much worth the state

A nice castle, built essentially as a wall around a church that is in the middle - perhaps on the site of a former fortress. You can see that the owner is trying to fix it and come back because some parts have been completely collapsed. At the same time, there was a very nice park in front of the castle, so hopefully the owner can handle it and once we can see the whole castle from the inside. ?

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
