Castles of Bohemia and Moravia

The publication by renowned authors brings a unique, new and interesting view of Czech monuments. The authors focused on the geological conditions of the formation of castles, chateaux, fortresses, monasteries and similar structures. The reader will learn not only what rocks they are built on, but also from what material and why the individual buildings were built, that the choice of stone for the construction was not at all random and many other interesting facts that he will not find in ordinary publications. An integral part of the book is the chapter dedicated to the defence and conquest of castles. The book describes in an interesting and readable way the connection between natural geological conditions and medieval and some modern stone buildings.
