Seeberg, Romanesque castle in Ostroh, Czech Republic.

Description

Seeberg stands on elevated ground near Františkovy Lázně and is a castle made of stone with rounded arches and a Renaissance wing with an arcade hallway. The structure also includes an outer area with a Baroque barn and towers.

History

Colonists founded the castle around 1200 under Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, and later its role changed due to shifts in political control. Renaissance renovations show how the castle adapted to new times.

Culture

The exhibitions show how people lived in medieval times, with objects from daily life such as old kitchen tools, porcelain, and farm equipment from the local region. You can see how families used their homes and what work they did each day.

Practical

Access is through marked paths on the grounds and the rooms are easily reached on foot. Comfortable shoes are helpful since the ground can be uneven and sturdy footwear is recommended.

Did you know?

The outer courtyard preserves a barn and grain storage tower from earlier times, showing how farming worked around the castle. These outbuildings give insight into how the residents fed themselves.
