Sporkenburg Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

So well hidden in the forest, the ruins are not easy to find. But when you do stand in front of them, you will be amazed. They are pretty well …

Malefiz

Highlight • Historical Site

Malefiz originally meant "crime," "outrage," or "evil deed" (from Latin maleficium).

Here, it likely refers to the place where wrongdoers were locked away.
