Coronavirus 2019-nCoV In connection with the current situation, Loket Castle is closed from 18 December 2020 until further notice to the public. The Loket castle, built of stone, is more than 800 year old settlement, positioned on a granite rock that is runaround by the river of Ohre. It was most probably founded as a frontier fortress. The castle served to kings, Lords of Schlick and Lords of Plauen, Loket´s townsmen and it was used as prison in 19th and 20th century. Shortly after 1989, it was open for public. The tour leads through expositions of porcelain, collections of former town museum, museum of arms to the premises of former prison where an impressive and authentic demonstration of torture can be seen.
When you think this castle was in a very poor state in the early 50s, it is a kind of miracle to be able to visit a very nice, well organized and attractive renovated history inheritage (thank you EU funds). I recommend taking the 45-60 minutes tour. Thisus place went through so many hands it has a rich and various history. In particular, the torture rooms are worth the visit, just make sure you brief your kids before... Our tour guide was great, engaged and involving visitors. We enjoyed it ????

For a well deserved coffee break after visiting the castle we found the place without looking for it, nor reading the TA TA references. That was a good choice. Fresh, home made cakes, delicious coffees and, smiling waitresses. Decoration is simple but cost. I like places where they do not pretend being anything else. After the huge disappointment of Atmosferá (read my reference), finding Galerie Cafe had been very pleasant. Thank you! You made our day ????
