That&#8217;s when Karel Vesel\u00fd appeared on the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Vesel\u00fd wanted to save the castle, and although he had no education or experience in archaeological work, he and his friends set about clearing the interior of the castle and then carried out amateur repairs.<\/p>\n<p>Partly because of these unprofessional interventions, restoration work has been ongoing since 2019 and is expected to continue for some time.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/vyhled-z-landstejna.jpg\" alt=\"View from Land\u0161tejn Castle over Czech Canada\" class=\"wp-image-55515\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View from Land\u0161tejn over Czech Canada<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interesting_Facts_About_Landstejn_Castle\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interesting_facts_about_Landstejn_Castle\"><\/span>Interesting Facts About Land\u0161tejn Castle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Almost no interior rooms or furnishings have survived in the castle, but the entire grounds were \u2014 and still are \u2014 full of archaeological finds that tell the story of the castle&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>Because there were no funds to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"clean out the local well (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/budejovice.rozhlas.cz\/landstejn-letos-laka-na-kamenne-delove-koule-z-dob-dobyvani-hradu-husity-7887117\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>clean out the local well<\/strong><\/a> in the 1960s, it wasn&#8217;t explored until relatively recently.
