Děčín Castle (German: Tetschner Schloss) is located on a rocky ridge near the Elbe River in the town of Děčín (Tetschen) in the Czech Republic. The castle dates back to a fortification built by the Přemyslids at the end of the 10th century (mentioned in 1128) to control shipping on the Elbe. In the 13th century, the wooden structure was converted into a stone castle and expanded. The Bünaus converted the complex into a Renaissance castle in the 16th century, but were forced to sell it to the von Thun family after the Thirty Years' War because of their Protestant faith. The von Thuns occupied the castle until 1932, then sold it to the state for financial reasons and relocated to Jílové (Eulau). See: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_D%C4%9B%C4%8D%C3%ADn

Always worth a trip. Magnificent view of Decin from up there.

Děčín Castle, located on a rocky promontory above the confluence of the Elbe and Ploučnice rivers, is one of the most important historical monuments in northern Bohemia. Over the centuries, it served as a stronghold of the Czech prince, a military fortress, and the seat of several important families. The history of Děčín Castle dates back to the 10th century, when a wooden fortification stood here, which served as the central point of administration of the Děčín province. The residence has undergone many building modifications in the past, the most important of which were carried out by the Thun-Hohenstein family. This family carried out two important reconstructions of the Děčín estate in the years 1628-1932, leading to its current form. However, in 1932, the family sold the castle to the Czechoslovak state, which created barracks here. In the following years, the Czechoslovak, German, and, in the years 1968-1991, Soviet armies took turns here. In 1991, the Děčín Castle became the property of the city of Děčín.

The abandoned settlement of Königsmühle (Königův Mlýn) is only one and a half kilometers from the village of Háj (Stolzenhain), but is shielded by a hill between them. Until their expulsion in the fall of 1946, 57 Sudeten Germans lived here in six houses, five of which were used as homes for the Fohrmann, Siegel, Giebert, Pöschl, and Siegel families. The sixth building was the mill. Grain from Bohemia was milled in Königsmühle, and the flour was then transported further to Saxony. This trade route (also for ore and timber) has sunk into the landscape about three meters deep due to centuries of heavy wagon traffic. After the end of the war, the ethnic German population was expelled from Czechoslovakia; approximately three million people were forced to flee, and around 3,000 communities, villages, and hamlets disappeared. Königsmühle is one of the few sites that can serve as a memorial to this aftermath of World War II. At the initiative of Czech cultural scientist and photographer Petr Mikšíček, the DoKrajin association has conserved the remains of the buildings, created informative display panels, and decorated the grounds with land art. The decline of Königsmühle has been halted, and the memory of its former residents is now kept alive.

Great historical place, just great to see what it used to be like there.

It is the first major city in the Czech Republic
