The most interesting thing about the Silesian Ostrava castle is that it has sunk up to 16m deep over time, due to the mining tunnels collapsing deep underground. While this has nearly ruined it over time, it still stands today. You can even visit the Silesian Castle at night - a spooky attraction that will surprise you!
