View from Castle
Yesterday we took another field trip. This time we saw a castle that
looked like a fairytale castle. There was a stone wall around the entire
castle. There was also a draw bridge and dry moat! The castle was built
to protect a trade route between Olomouc and Loštice. It was built for
private use and remained in possession of families until the 19th
century. It then became a tourist attraction. We saw several rooms
within the castle and a hidden passageway. The view from the balcony was
gorgeous. The hills were green and full of trees. | |

Statue of Saint Elizabeth
|
The courtyard had a well and several statues. One of the most common statues was of Saint Elizabeth. It was said they she always gave food to the poor. Her husband caught her one day and told her if she did it again he would kill her. She continued anyway. One day her husband caught her and told her to show him what was in her skirt. When she showed him, the food had miraculously become roses. For risking her life to feed the hungry, she was became a saint. It was a short trip, but I enjoyed seeing the quaint, little castle.
