Libá Castle and palace were the center of the Liebenstein rule. Hans von Sparneck sold Liebenstein Castle in 1426 to the von Zedtwitz family on Neuberg , who had already built up considerable property in the Ascher Ländchen. The robber baron Jörg von Zedtwitz used the castle for his raids against the city of Eger and owners of neighboring castles such as Seeberg or Haslau. The castle was finally destroyed by troops from the city of Eger, and Jörg von Zedtwitz narrowly escaped with his life. Christoph von Zedtwitz was the defending captain in 1553Siege of court .
The castle fell into ruin in the decades after the Second World War. After the end of Czechoslovakia , decisive steps were taken to preserve it. A private investor intends to use the castle as a hotel. The first repair measures, such as a complete roof repair, the insertion of windows and repair work on the outer facade, stopped the advanced decay. In the meantime, excavation work in the basement has brought new knowledge about the first castle complex at this point. Destroyed rooms were reconstructed with stucco decorations based on old photographs . The castle is currently inaccessible as a construction site.
References:The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.
The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.
The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
