Interesting about Casanova! I was just looking for Most on VT but found only a name combination but I think this must be it. All locations nearby brought me to this page :))

When I read your stories about this castle, many castles in my home region come into my mind, which share the same fate as Duchcov castle, it is to hope that all these castles will restored soon !!

Completely new stuff for me. A lot of stuff in the Czech Republic remains outside my knowledge. It will be fun to explore when I finally get there.

Great pics Michael! Perhaps after the Czech Republic joins the EU, then the money will be found to restore such historical treasures. Unfortunately, it will be the people of the current 15 member EU paying for it. Okay, maybe the people from Cypress too!
