Kezmarok castle

Description

From Finrod's diary:
"Here we are before the Kežmarok castle. It was built in 1463, and owned by several noble families since then. One of the most tragic stories (almost like some of those about us...) is about Beata Lasky, the wife of the owner of the castle in 1565, Albert Lasky. She was 20 years older than him, and he married her for money. Beata is the first known female tourist in the Hight Tatras (where we have been as well). But she went there without the agreement of her husband, and for that, he let her be bricked in in the tower of the castle, with only one window for giving her food, and one little window with a view on the High Tatras - the cause of her tragedy. She has been freed only 6 years later, when the owner of the castle changed, but she never recovered.

Oh, and one more fun fact: Mirach's fiancee has ancestors from the Thoköly family, who owned the castle in 16-18th century, before it became property of the city."

Tragedy indeed... She didn't even have a Rapunzel-happy-end...

That's quite cool. XD
