The White Lady of Střekov

Střekov is one of our most beautiful castles, resembling the German castles on the Rhine. The Střekov cliff was once called the Bohemian Lorelei. At night the ghost of a youthful White Lady wanders through the romantic ruins. She is said to have been a daughter of the owner of Vrabinec Castle, thrown by her cruel husband from the Střekov rock into the Elbe. People also believed that treasures were buried in the castle; the zealous work of treasure hunters contributed greatly to its devastation.
