Mladá Boleslav Castle, originally built in the first half of the 14th century, has gone through many development stages. Despite the Renaissance castle and the period of devastation after the Thirty Years War, the army took over the building for 200 years and converted it into a barracks. Between 1940 and 1943, Jews from the wider Boleslav area were interned here. Today it is the seat of the Museum of Mladá Boleslav and Archive.
Mladá Boleslav is my hometown, though I haven’t lived there for 46 years. Today I was there with my siblings and their families to belatedly celebrate my 70th birthday, which was in January.

That looks like it would come down, if you sneezed on it.

This image features Schloss Schönbühel (Schönbühel Castle), a medieval fortress perched on a rocky cliff overlooking the Danube River in Lower Austria. It is located in the town of Schönbühel-Aggsbach, just below Melk in the picturesque Wachau Valley, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Key Features of Schloss Schönbühel
Architecture: The castle has evolved over centuries, blending Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles. It is recognizable by its prominent onion-domed tower and defensive walls that follow the uneven cliff edge.
History: Its origins date back to the early 12th century, founded by Marchwardus de Schoenbuchele as a strategic defensive stronghold. It was significantly restored in the 19th century by Count Franz von Beroldingen.
Accessibility: The castle is currently privately owned and is generally not open for public tours or exhibitions.
