Lípa neviny, Historic linden tree in Buchlov Castle, Czech Republic
The linden tree grows from the lawn beneath a castle terrace, allowing visitors to observe its crown from a stone table above.
In 1581, a young squire named Vlček planted this tree with its roots pointing upward as proof of his innocence during a murder investigation.
The tree stands as a testament to medieval Czech justice practices, where natural elements served as instruments of truth and judgment.
Located in the third courtyard of Buchlov Castle at 500 meters elevation, the tree remains accessible during regular castle visiting hours.
Despite being planted upside down with roots toward the sky, the tree continues to grow and produces multiple shoots from its unusual position.
