A little over two and a half thousand people live in the city called Golčův Jeníkov. The life of the city but it is not known. It is half-empty.

It is chilly, the air in Golčův Jeníkov is saturated with smoke. Rather than the Highlands a man feels like a city that lives by industry. From the chimneys of houses get out greenish smoke, that nasty stings in the nose every time you inhale. Grey sky deserts down tiny drops of water and the streets are quiet, and so the mood in the city, which is also referred to as the centre of the Czech Republic, is a kind of grim.

But when recognize deeper Golčův Jeníkov streets, you will discover many mysteries, and quite easily. Just to observe a little bit in detail. Historic buildings which you can see among these couple of centuries younger are completely different and the man doesn’t to be a historian or an architect, to know it.

The most significant and also the oldest of them is Golčův Renaissance fortress, where he now resides gallery. Baroque tower with fortification elements or loophole, in the days, when he was in the castle brewery, served as a depot hops. Castle building itself is nothing special. No high poles or decorating the walls, fountains and even statues. This lock is called the old simple one-storey building, built in Baroque style. The castle would have probably nobody wouldn’t guess, not on it an inscription Castle restaurant. Rather, the inn. New Castle, which stands next door, still waiting for its reconstruction.
