Abandoned manor house in Zahorany, Czech Republic Note from the suggester: This is an abandoned manor in the North of the Czech Republic, in Zahorany near Litomerice. Supposedly built in 1708 for Czech colonel Jan de la Corona, it later belonged to the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, Josef II. I visited the building because it used to belong to my family. It was used as homestead for the vast fields belonging to it, from somewhere during the 19th century until 1945, when all Germans fled from Bohemia and the Czech Republic became communist. The building then partly served as a farm as well as a pub. It is quite an impressive site, featuring a vast patio, stucco on most ceilings, a small waterfall, adorned gateways and colonnades and allegedly a theatre- and ballroom. The building cannot be entered nowadays because of its bad condition; it is close to collapse. Nearby, a beautiful derelict church, set on a hilltop, with a fascinating graveyard including gravestones prized open and bones lying about. Photo taken and suggested by Phillip.
