Houska Castle

Houska Castle is an early Gothic castle, 47 kilometres (29 mi) north of Prague, in the Czech Republic (Houska 1, 471 62 Doksy). It is one of the best preserved castles of the period. Notable features include a predominantly gothic chapel, green chamber with late-gothic paintings, and knight's drawing room.

Folklore considers that castle to cover one of the gateways to hell, built to prevent demons (trapped in lower levels) from reaching the world.
