Křivoklát Castle can be found in Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. Křivoklát was founded during 12th century and belonged to Bohemain kings. During the reign of Přemysl Otakar II a large, monumental royal castle was built, later rebuilt by king Václav IV and later enlarged by king Vladislav of Jagellon.
The castle was damaged by fire several times. It was turned into harsh prison and the building slowly deteriorated. During 19th century family of Fürstenberg became castle owners and reconstructed it after a fire in 1826.

Cestle in Bratislava. Built on the hill-top above the city centrum of Old Town, the castle is certainly the most notable building in the capital of Slovakia. With its 4 towers the main castle building remainds an upside-down turned table.

Vlkolínec is a settlement of around 50 log houses with the traditional features of a central European mountain village. As a remarkably intact assemblage of folk architecture, Vlkolínec was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993.

First mentioned in writing in 1376, the village became part of the town of Ružomberok in 1882. Its name is probably derived from Slovak “vlk” i. e. wolf.

The town began in 1142 with the settlement of the first Cistercian Monastary in Bohemia. By 1260 German miners began to mine for silver in the mountain region, which they named Kuttenberg, and which was part of the monastery property. The name of the mountain is said to have arrived from the miners workclothes garb (the Kutten).

The castle was founded in 1348 by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV who personally supervised the construction works and the decoration of interiors. The construction was finished nearly twenty years later when the “heart” of the treasury – the Chapel of the Holy Cross situated in the Great tower – was consecrated in 1365.

Vlkolínec is a picturesque city part of the town of Ružomberok, historically a separate village. It was established in the 14th century and after 1882 it became part of Ružomberok.

Vlkolínec is part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 1993, and one of ten Slovak villages that have a status of a village preserve. It is because of being an untouched and complex example of folk countryside architecture of this region of the Northern Carpathians. The village comprises two or three room log cabine type houses. A wooden belfry from the 18th century has also been preserved.
