Abandoned. Too bad

A beautiful castle, only everyone has forgotten about it. Except that they mow once a year

A mighty castle, it's a shame because it's visibly collapsing ?

An extremely beautiful castle, it's a shame that it is slowly falling into disrepair. The surroundings should be tidied up a bit.

Very beautiful (unspoilt) nature. The vicinity of Vesela Gora (God's Way).
