Silesian Ostrava Castle
Description
Silesian Ostrava Castle is a castle in Ostrava, in the northeastern Czech Republic. It was originally built in the 1280s near the confluence of the Lučina and Ostravice rivers. The castle was built for military purposes due to its proximity to the Polish border.
In 1534, the gothic castle was rebuilt into a renaissance chateau. It burned down in 1872 but was rebuilt. It was restored recently after many years of dilapidation, caused by coal mining under the castle. Today, the castle is one of the most important tourist attraction of the city.
The castle held the Colours of Ostrava festival in 2007.

The creepy castle. Great action at the conclusion of the holiday season. We've been walking for 6.summer and each time it is different and mainly for children scary (not just for children) ?

Shakespeare festival: we waited until 20 hours before they opened the castle and then like the sheep in the herd until 20:30 before they let us go to the place....completely on the wrong show.

We were here on a bike. We wanted to get in the castle in the courtyard to eat. Unfortunately for us it wasn't allowed, only when you pay admission. We drove away and after the us and other cyclists.

The beautiful environment of the castle, nice restaurant, amazing events and exhibitions and, of course, the Summer Shakespeare's festival with a unique atmosphere. I recommend to all those interested in novel environment.
