When: April 2012
This chateau, located in a southern Bohemian town that translates to "Red Village," has been in existence since the middle of the 14th century. It was originally white (the chateau, not the village). A thorough history on this page states that the chateau became a "theatre of squabbles, arguments and personal assaults" when it was owned by two brothers, and then a "godless castle lady" died and left a blood stain on the white walls, and thus red paint was used to cover it. I have no idea if the story is true, but if it isn't, it's probably more interesting than the truth, and if nothing else "Godless Castle Lady" would probably make a good name for a band.
