Castle Rozmberk, Czech Republic
From series “The Most Mysterious Buildings (Houses, Palaces, Castles) in the World”
The Czech Republic has also a lot of amazing mystical symbols, including the beautiful Castle Rožmberk, which was built in the 13th century. The fortress bears the name of its founders. According to one legend, spirit of Perchta, the daughter of Ulrich Rosenberg, lives there. When the girl was 20 years old, her father decided to marry her to a nobleman Jan Liechtenstein. Perchta many years lived in misery eating the dust from her abusive husband, his mother and sisters.
On his deathbed, the nobleman asked his wife for forgiveness, but she said him nay; that’s why he cursed her. The curse was so strong, that after more than 500 years the spirit of Perchta can’t find a resting place and lives in the ancient castle. Locals call the ghost the White Lady and consider it to be a guardian of an ancient castle. Usually it’s seen in a beautiful white gown, but if the ghost wears black dress, it means that soon will be a trouble and someone will die. Once the keeper of the castle was seen in a scarlet dress; a few days later the castle was caught by strong fire.

Top destination around Castle Rozmberk - Cesky Krumlov
What is Cesky Krumlov famous for? Without a doubt, marvelous castles remain one of the biggest attractions of the settlement. One of these castles belonged to the Rosenberg family. Cesky Krumlov Castle was built in the 13th century. This is the second largest castle in the Czech Republic with only the Hradcany castle complex in Prague being ahead. During its long history, Cesky Krumlov Castle won a reputation of a majestic and impenetrable building. Even a large fire inside the castle couldn’t severely damage it. Several restorations didn’t change the look of the building much.
The only thing that changed in the castle over time was its style. Initially, the castle had elements typical for the Italian Renaissance. Later, it became a gorgeous example of the romantic Gothic architecture. Without a doubt, there are many legends and stories about Cesky Krumlov Castle, just like about the majority of old castles. According to one of these stories, there is a ghost of a White Lady that lives in it. The ghost appears rarely, and when she does, this is a sign of big luck or big trouble such as a fire. In order to find out what the future brings, it is important to take a look at the gloves that the lady is wearing. They can be white or red.
