Bouzov Castle

One of many castles in the Czech Republic. Notice the Austrian flag high on the sides of the main tower. This was an important castle in the days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (which ceased to exist at the end of World War I).

In the Czech 'Bohemian Paradise', we stopped to buy some handmade 'lantern glass' beads. I got tired of looking at jewelry and went for a walk, taking pictures along the way.<br /><br />This is a typical scene in a typical town in the Czech countryside. The building with the green stripes on the right side of the photo is a cafe.
