Konpiste Castle

January 2004

After New Years Eve in Prague, Lenka and I took a round about route to her home in Luhacovice stopping off to visit this fine castle not far from Tabor.  It's called Konpiste Castle. 

Konopiste castle was completely reconstructed in the 19th century and now houses a fascinating collection of historical weapons, furniture, paintings and tapestries.  Not that we saw any of this because it was kinda closed and I'd seen enough historical weapons, furniture, paintings and tapestries

Have to say it was was a beautiful place ... hidden in a white snow covered frosty forest.

Here's the photos.

Forest path leading up to the castle.  I just love this shot.  It feels positively dream like.
