CR: Přerov Nad Labem II. - Chateau: Disputes About Ownership - VIDEO

Rather little chateau than chateau the mansion in an unusually sharp spring sun is whitening, that you can´t miss it. But when the sky clouded, one misses it quite easily go unnoticed. The village is clearly boast it, because to a small building with a richly decorated plaster don’t lead neither an arrow.

If we mentioned in the previous article in Přerov mess we had in mind was the castle and its immediate surroundings. Inspect the castle moat, which is surrounded by, requires, with some exaggeration, properly sharpened machete. Spray sprayed chapel and a fireplace with a lot of rubbish is again a typical sign of Czech identity.

20 million – too much or not enough

Even in January the Czech Radio wanted to sell the castle to the private owner for 20 million. The intention, however, did not like the regional governor or municipality that would like to leave the valuable property, made available to people, and perhaps linking with the neighbouring area museum. But 20 million is too much. Cross the land, which belongs to the castle, also s main road of the village leads - also because of her most protracted disputes. Not far from her parked bus that landed there a group of children visitors. Teachers sat on the lawn in front of the castle, gave away snacks and tried to explain to children why the chateau is closed. Then they had finished, he shrugged and walked to the direction of open-air museum.

How was it was ages ago

A gentle Renaissance building from the late 14th century, which served as the administrative headquarters of Břevnov monastery, so much ado about not even deserve. Instead of unnecessary hassles which tore due to her property, would rather fix needed to be able to start making money on greedy tourists - even the children and their teachers.

The original Gothic fortress surrounded by a moat was rebuilt into a Renaissance chateau in the 16th century. One hundred years later it became a ruin, but fortunately that does not fall apart completely. Gradually it was repaired and south east wing. Overhaul the castle passed from 1872 to 1873, then again, you forced the reconstruction in 1960. Then came the castle turret, which is part of the building on the southeast courtyard richly decorated Renaissance figural sgraffito and rustica decoration. Since 1958, the castle used by Czech Radio, which bought it in 1982, there eventually archived to their records.

Which way to nowhere

The walk to ditch is not recommended - both because it is still a little water and even dry when walking the high grass intractable killers you'll feel like a snail, but mainly because it will get you nowhere. If you want to see the castle from all sides and you are willing to mourn his inaccessible interiors, head to the left of the road covered in rubbish around the chapel. Judging by the empty bottles thrown, you will reach the top tourist destination where is the BEST view of the castle building immersed in a deep ditch.

Crack in the once locked door then stretch further, so you can see the castle from every possible angle. At the main entrance forget now.
