Very nice and cozy little church. Very nice to look at. Many fine paintings and wooden details. Well maintained for being as old as it is. Fun with the bell tower a bit from the church. Well maintained and nice cemetery. Definitely worth a visit. Don't forget to check the opening hours so you can take a look inside too.

Deerberga church is located in historical areas opposite an interesting burial ground where the large bell tower is also located. There are bulletin boards that tell about the countryside, so the small whitewashed church that is one of Blekinge's oldest comes a little in the dark for runstones and various archaeological finds. There is a small parking lot below the bell tower.

Beautiful place just north of the E22 highway. The building dates back to 1250. The German priest Egino did missionary work here around the year 1000 converting the Viking, heathen people into Christianity. It's located near the biggest iron age cemetery on a heather field. I recommend everyone to go there and let yourself be drawn back a 1000 year. It's well worth the visit.

Cervená Lhota Castle

Červená Lhota castle stands at the middle of a lake on a rocky island. Its picturesque Renaissance building is a destination of thousands of tourists every year. Its name Červená Lhota meaning 'red lhota' can be explained by the colour of the château"s bright-red roof tiles. There is also a park, where the Chapel of the Holy Trinity is located.

The existence of an original fortress on the site of today"s château is assumed from sometime around the middle of the 14th century. It was built on a rocky granite outcrop, which, after the damming of a stream and the filling up of a fishpond, became an island. The first written source is an entry into the land records from 1465, mentioning the division of the property of deceased Ctibor of Zásmuk between his two sons Petr and Václav.
