[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Polish]
The Helfstyn castle ranks among the most extensive castles in Europe and it is one of the best preserved castle complexes in the Czech Republic. In its present appearance, the castle has the character of an extensive architecture of fortification with six gates, a number of dungeons and buildings and with a recognisable system of mounds extending down to the locality of Týn upon Becva. Individual architectural groups arose from the beginning of the l4th up to the end of the l8th centuries. In this time interval, the castle was systematically reconstructed and widened. Its building development, however, was strongly influenced by deliberate damanging, ordered by Austrian military administration in Vienna in the year 1656. Further deterioration was then note in the first half of the l9th century. In spite of that, the ramparts remained intact all over the periphery and also the stone walls of individual buildings are well-preserved. Only ceilings and roofs did not survive.

Hallo Andrzej!
This is a wondeful view into the court of the castle - I think from a tower. You show us an impressive fortification from a very good point of view. Thank you for showing this in such natural colours!
Greetings from Germany!

Hello, Andrzej
Very interesting composition of this wonderful castle, with natural colors, contrasts and perspective. It is a pity the sky did not cooperate that day. But I like your point of view. Very well seen and composed.
