Published: 28.2.2012
The thermometer shows the six degrees and the air smells of spring. The soles are glued by ubiquitous mud. But mud associated with the end of winter, people take much better than the mud as a symbol of autumn.

Budyně nad Ohří (over Ohře river) remained almost storybook place. Around the high tower of the church of St. Wenceslas fly pigeons. For the moment the sun was shining, so the shadow play of their flight as reflected in the stone pavement. If in the city wouldn’t go the cars, one should feel that breathes the air centuries younger.

The titled nostalgia

The effort of local to preserve historic character of the town was succeeded for hundred percent. In 1997 Budyně nad Ohří became a city of the year, even today, after fifteen years, no one doubted that publishers Economia, which announced a competition, assigned title into the wrong hands.

The magic of ancient days shows not only a stone pavement, but also the old signs marking street or square, but also archaic signs, slender winding streets lined with houses and paved paths only - no asphalt. Also a wooden gate on the football pitch before sporting a tiny elementary school, evoke pleasant feelings of nostalgia.

Water Castle Story

Just a little confusing could be the sign that says "Water Castle". It shows on the left, while the castle stands on the right from the arrow, directly opposite the chateau, not the castle restaurant. But who goes to obfuscate several meters, realize that the arrow directs drivers to parking. Water gate of the castle is not spectacular, but in a city, where it is no problem criss-cross walk for half an hour, you can´t miss.

The courtyard opens in winter season. Inside the castle, but you get in month, beginning of April. If you are still unable to wait, you can call there and order a tour. But they can do it at least for ten people.

To the current form of the seat rebuilt Count Herberstein (1900 - 1913). The original square floor plan, urging war enemies extensively damaged, replace the two wings of the building. The moats "protect" the castle in his back side. Today, however, are shallow, so that enemies would probably laugh. Once the castle was surrounded by them all, so in the countryside around Peruc, so rich for game, they could set up the undisturbed host receptions.

Water Castle, which is managed by the city, remains a place inextricably linked with alchemy. In time of Rudolf II., thanks to this modern scientists field of knowledge, but many estates turned bankrupt.  Also the House of Zajíc of Hazmurk that inhabited the manor until 1613, let the blind apparent simplicity of this magic and ended in bankruptcy. To the secrets of alchemical workshops of Water Castle visitors can glimpse in Janda museum.
