One of the best castles in Germany, with an impressive history. Great organzation behind is constantly maintaining the castle with so much love and dedication. It's really a pleasure to discover the castle through their eyes on a tour. So absolutely worth a trip whenever you're around this area. You can wander along the beautiful castle gardens and enjoy their delicious coffee & cake - tastes like at home with grandma- in their Schlosscafé. You can discover some interesting facts also inside the castle. If you're lucky enough there might be a concert to join as well.

Beautiful old castle in need of some renovation. The guided tour was really informative and the renovations that have been completed look great. The cafe was open when I visited and the staff there were very friendly and my cappuccino was really nice.

Beautiful castle, consisting of the Old Part and the New House. It's truly worth a visit.

Got to tour inside with the open house today. I enjoyed it because it was a little more down to earth. Very grand, indeed, but there was so much beauty in it's flaws, in it's cracked walls and sloping staircase. I loved seeing the age and wear of the stones. The tapestry room is absolutely amazing. Its age and wear just adds to its beauty as well.

Absolutely stunning. On the day of our visit there was a small classic concert hosted, which made the experience even more memorable

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
