... the way of history.
gives us an example of one of the owners of the castle Czocha.
Czocha Castle was for centuries associated with the knightly families, but the concept of chivalry is not always meant the same thing today.
tell you a local legend, but as I am an advocate of equal rights hot on letting up (of course, if someone really needs to have :-), do not tell the legend as such represent it in guidebooks. Ventured to look at it through the eyes of both women and men.
Legend of the well of unfaithful wives:
Man Caught:
Men for centuries have trouble with their wives. What just went on a long journey, counting on the fact that after his return might meet them an unpleasant surprise. It is therefore wonder that the castle has developed a tradition Czocha sophisticated punishment treacherous wives. One of the lords of the family von Nostitz, who returned from a long military expedition, he found his wife in childbirth, I just threw it into the well in the inner courtyard of the castle. Encouraged by tradition, another member of that family, finding the ungrateful his wife in the arms of his charioteer, he repeated this feat.
History remembers another unfaithful mistress of the castle Czocha, Ulrike something of which included a marriage of convenience rostało, and the couple very strongly did not fit each other to such an extent that it does not maintain physical contact relevant people poślubionym. Man, however, its needs and had not surprising that when he was invited as a deputy to the court of the king of France, stayed there longer than originally thought. Where, as where, but the French court pleasures, never missed. But all good things used to be over, we had to return home. What was his surprise and shock when he saw his wife and child. It is not housed in the head-wife did not comply with fidelity, while he performed his duties the king. Mindful of tradition, punished her by throwing well, and had a child alive in a brick fireplace in the hall today is coming from where his weeping.
Caught woman
Men have always had sophisticated ways to punish their unfaithful wives. The castle Czocha tradition was throwing them alive into the well. One of the lords of the castle in this way shrift with his wife when, after returning from the war found her in childbirth. His descendant repeated this feat by throwing his wife, when she sought solace and understanding in the arms his coachman (he must have had a nice bust! :-).
legend commemorated one of the ladies in the castle-Ulrike, which included a marriage of convenience was extremely unhappy and full of humiliations for the lonely woman. Once, a spouse who still did not meet to take part in any obligations arising out of a marriage, was sent as envoy to the court of the king of France. He stayed there long, because this place was known by all kinds of pleasures, both spiritual and physical. Especially the flesh. Unhappy, lonely Ulrike found solace in the arms of a sensitive man and a woman suffering no wonder that after a long absence from home, her husband found her and the child-the fruit of love for another man. Cruel, knowing the tradition of this place, I immediately dropped into the well, the unfortunate woman, and child alive had brick in the fireplace in the hall, where even today you hear his cries.
