Statue of the bridge saint Nepomuk at the Pitten

The bridge saint can also be found here.

Saint John of Nepomuk was a priest (Vicar General of the Archbishop) in Bohemia who died a martyr's death in Prague in 1393. He was thrown from the Charles Bridge in Prague into the Vltava River by royal order and drowned. His statue can still be found on or near many bridges or elsewhere near rivers. He is not only considered a popular "bridge saint", but is also the patron of the seal of confession. In many depictions of his person he holds a cross in one hand, sometimes he puts a finger to his lips with the other as a sign of silence (which was heard during confession). The memorial day of Saint John of Nepomuk in the calendar of saints is March 20th.

A beautiful landscape. Worth a trip in autumn.

Cozy through the beech forest, always beautiful in all seasons.

July 31, 2021 - The castle is impressive even from the outside. During a guided tour you can also get to know the inside of the castle, which is very interesting. The visit of the building, with the courtyards and the well-appointed interiors, is highly recommended.

07/31/2021 - The Luther pulpit is a bit hidden, but once you have found it, you will be rewarded with the wonderful view.

The castle is open on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
