For kids
Imagine going back 500 years to the time when the great empire was decaying in Czech territory. It was an era when the Czech Kingdom was a strong and powerful state. And it was during this period that Bozkov Castle existed.
The castle of Bozkov stood on the hill above the village. Turning into the valley of the Sazava River, he was protected as a shield. At that time the castle was an impenetrable fortress, which was the most powerful and safe place in the whole region. It was like a fortified fortress from an old legend.
