Case 146: Zvikov Castle Bohemia - Knights, Crown Jewels, Bloodshed and Ghosts
Listen now
Description
Looming over the landscape and perched atop a steep promontory above the confluence of the Vltava and Otava rivers in the Czech Republic, is the magnificent castle called Zvíkov. Originally started as a rather small structure, over the centuries it was expanded to become the massive heavily fortified behemoth it is is now, and it is often called the “King of Czech Castles.” Surrounded by a sweeping vista as it is, and often listed as among the most beautiful castles in Europe, Zvikov is renowned as being an important early-gothic structure, as well as for its soaring towers and elaborate, extensive mural decorations in the Chapel of St. Wenceslaus, a structure which itself is a masterpieces of early-gothic Czech architecture. It is a popular tourist attraction in its native land, and it also has a long, often tumultuous history, as well as supernatural tales of a demonic imp. In this episode of the True Hauntings podcast we explore the corridors of this haunted Castle to find all types of spirits and even an imp that has been experienced within Zvikov. We had the chance to explore this place when we visited Germany and Czech Republic with Dave Schrader and Mysterious Adventures last year and this place is unreal. So much beauty and bloodshed in one place!
