Savoia Castle or Škvorec Castle (Squorz, Schkworetz), is a castle located in small market town of Škvorec, about 23 kilometres (14 mi) east of Prague in the Czech Republic. It was first mentioned in historical sources in 1279 (but more fully documented in 1404).
Famous quotes containing the word castle:
“The splendor falls on castle walls
And snowy summits old in story;
The long light shakes across the lakes,
And the wild cataract leaps in glory.
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
