The DPSG Eichstätt's peace light sending ceremony is always a moving event.

Lovingly restored monastery complex with church ⛪️ and monastery buildings. There are some schools here within the historic walls. You can see here how old things can be combined with modern ones. You have a wonderful view of the castle from the bus station.

Only seen from afar, once from the historic Rebdorf footbridge and once from the top of the Rebdorfer Schulweg

Super restored Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Missionaries. The buildings now house two diocesan high school students, which is why the new buildings are also there.

Strekov Castle

Střekov Castle (Schreckenstein) is perched atop a cliff above the River Elbe, near the city of Ústí nad Labem. It was built in 1316 for John of Luxembourg, the father of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, to guard an important trade route to Germany. After changing hands several times, the castle was acquired by the Lobkowicz family in 1563. Its strategic importance led to occupations by Imperial Habsburg, Saxon, and Swedish forces during the Thirty Years' War, as well as successive sieges by Austrian and Prussian armies during the Seven Years' War.

Although Střekov Castle was heavily damaged during those conflicts and abandoned as a military installation by the end of the 18th century, the 1800s saw many poets and artists visiting the castle, drawn by a new trend of interest in romantic ruins.
