For kids
Představ si, že se vrátíš zpět do minulosti, do doby, kdy na tomto místě stál velký a slavný hrad. Bylo to jako v nějaké fantastické knize nebo ve hře, kde jsi hrdinou vlastní historie. A přesně takhle to bylo, když se vrátila zpátky minulost a ukázala nám, jak vypadalo toto místo dávno pryč.
Dnes je zbytek tohoto hradu známý jako Dům Bílka z Bilenbergu. Je to malý, ale opravdu krásný dům, kde bydlí rodina s názvem Bílek. Ale co se stalo před tisíci lety? Kdo tu tehdy žil a co dělal? Na to se můžeme jen domnívat, ale některé věci jsou jisté.
