The school building is one of the sights of the city that is highly recommended to visit. The school was built in 1100. Initially the building was occupied by a church, and starting from 1557 – by a Catholic classic school. Among the most famous religious facilities of the city we should mention St. John Church built in 1344 by order of Queen Isabella. In the 16th century the church lost its religious meaning and was used as a prison. Captivated royalists were kept in it. Bablake School is another educational facility of medieval times. It was built in 1560. This school is located near Bond’s Hospital on Hill Street, so both houses are connected by an arc. If you pass the arc by, you will enter a cozy inner yard, which hasn’t changed through centuries. While walking in the park you can see Cook Street Gates that are decorated with a bas-relief featuring the symbol of the city – an elephant that holds a castle on his spine. One more religious facility that has miraculously survived in war is Church of the Holy Trinity. One of the church’s towers is 72 meters tall.

Castle Woodstock

From the series “Amazing Ancient Fortresses Preserved to This Day”
The ghost of beauty, living in the castle, is considered a good one, and never frightens the people who come to the castle with good intentions. One of the most incredible cases happened in the castle in the 18th century, when the officials wanted to expropriate the whole property as compensation for the owners' big debts. The ghost of Rozamunda has received them extremely unfriendly. The officials were thrown with the stones and watered by the cold water, whose appearance in the narrow corridors remains unexplained until today. Thus the protector's ghost saved the castle's valuable property. Thanks to the unusual case, the collection of antique objects and works of art can be appreciated today. … Read further
