Trosky Castle

Trosky Castle (Czech: Hrad Trosky) is a castle ruin some 10 kilometres (6 mi) south of Semily, Liberec Region, Czech Republic. It is one of the most famous Czech castles and is on the summits of two basalt volcanic plugs. On the lower peak, 47 metres (154 ft), is the two-storey structure called Baba (Old Woman), and on the higher outcrop, 57 metres (187 ft), is the four-sided structure known as Panna (Maiden). The castle is a landmark in the countryside known as Český ráj (Bohemian Paradise).

Trosky Castle. Trosky (literally "debris") is one of the most significant places in Czech lands with unique look. It was built on a relict of a volcano, two basalt towers which were exposed by long time erosion, those towers made of compact basanite were originally magma flows of two monogenetic volcanos. Due to it´s material composition, the towers are strong enough to bear the buildings. The building began around 1380, first the inner castle between the towers was completed, then the turrets on the towers which were accessible from the lower buildings through wooden towers and bridges. The lower, pentagonal tower is known as Baba (old hag) and is freely accesible, the higher one is named Panna (maiden) and is actually isolated and inaccessible. A spiral staircase to Panna had to be built in 1841, but was never finished after the death of the builder. The castle stood on the royal side in the Hussite wars, and was unsuccesfully besieged in 1424 by the Hussites. It was taken through a ruse by marauders in 1438, which withstood all attacks for years and terorized the surrounding county until 1444. After it was bought by the owner of the nearby Kost Castle in 1455, Trosky lost it´s primal role and became only a local administrative center for the next century. It served as a base for Swedes in the Thirty years war, in 1648 the castle burned down. It was bought in 1821 by the Aehrentals, a new type of rich enterpreneurs who invested into rescue od cultural heritage sites, and also Trosky has been changed into a tourist attraction, but the work was not finished. The castle became property of the Czech tourist club in 1920ies, the walls have been conserved, in 2000 the Baba tower was made accesible with incredible lookout into the landscape. It´s a place worthy of a visit. Letecký pohled. Trosky Castle 54
