Yeah, those monks are awesome! We got one of each kind to taste, and it was like a color wheel. They had a really good red, but the Czech lager (obviously!) was the best one. They also, apparently, used to buy weird taxidermy and have a museum showing some of the more strange ones. That gem from the walking tour guide :-)
The tower thing in your photo was used to store munitions back in the day. From what I remember (been awhile!) there were others like it that got hit. Apparently, storing your explosives in a cool tower thing makes it a target. Who knew? :-)
Whoa, walking tour sounds amazing! I would like the weird taxidermy too! Thanks for the valuable info!!!
