      if you want it even creepier, then find something about Karel Hynek Mácha, a Czech poet who lived in the 19th century. He made a trip to the castle and made it through the corridor to Prague in 2006. He wrote it in a letter. Only with the advent of smartphones did we understand some of the lines. 😉

    My god this video gave me an an aneurysm... Of course there was a purpose to that castle. Apparently it's connected to Ottokar II. of Bohemia and it was supposed to be used for administration of the surrounding lands. Also after the thirty years war the defensive structures were torn down as decreed by Emperor Ferdinand III.
    As for the centaur woman in the church? That isn't that special. In Hamersleben for example the one of the pillars shows 2 centaurs fighting eachother. In Magdeburg Abbey there are also decorated pillars with harpies. And giving the czech guy a dub with a russian accent is pretty racist, Discovery... Also no self respecting archeologist would participate in these documentaries about ghosts and cryptozoology. Stuff like that just perpetuates the whole Indiana Jones view on archeology.
    But what do I know about that, I just studied european archeology and art history......
