What I liked most about this castle was that katarina who showed us around this town with her son Adam did not know anything about it.... then she said that as a little girl she loved thinking about this building as a fairy tale castle... and i understood why she did not want to know anything about it.... for her childhood vision of the place showed me a far greater way of seeing the castle than thinking that it was for a short period of time inhabited by the Czech president Eduard Benes or that it was built in the 19th century for the rich entrepreneur Peter Jacob. I have seen too many castles built by the rich for the rich... but to see a fairy tale castle through the eyes of a little girl....made this place far more wonderful for me....and even though that little girl grew up and had her own son it was nice to picture this place through the memory of her young eyes.... "Life itself is the most wonderful fairytale of all." -Hans Christian Andersen
