Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: Nachod

This was one of several shots that I took of the sunset over the Rybnik, or pond. I've been unable to find a name for this pond other than the generic one.

This is my favorite Nachod shot. I hope that you agree.

Here's a courtyard shot of the zamek, although I don't count it as a true interior shot. The courtyard is accessible in the winter, even if the interiors of the buildings are not.

Here's a shot of the zamek that perfectly captures the gloomy weather on the day of my visit. This one is unedited.

This is a generic photo taken from the old town square, but the center point is the zamek. As with the other landmarks mentioned earlier, I wouldn't mind knowing what building that is on the right, with the clock tower.

Here's the radnice, or town hall, of Nachod. This is the "Nove Radnice," or "New Town Hall." Annoyingly, like the church I can't get much information on it beyond the fact that it's the new one, and that it's a registered historic site.

Here's an alternate shot of the church. Again, if someone has more information on it, please let me know. I found a list of Nachod landmarks on Wikipedia... cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Náchod ....but the links to the churches are dead, so I can't determine which one this is.

This is the church in the old town square in Nachod. I'm still looking for info on it, but it looks like it could have medieval origins.

Here's another attempt at getting an interior shot into Tepla. I was using my cameraphone because my film speed that day wasn't fast enough, but still I'm not more enlightened. It just looks like ruins, puddles, and a general mess. Only the shell of the building, and some windows and signage, seem to have survived.

This bay was interesting. It looks like it was meant for a rail vehicle, yet there isn't any rail connection on the street or across the street, nor any room to turn a typical rail vehicle. Can anybody explain this? Also, there doesn't seem to be any provision for unloading, or any room for a rail vehicle of practical size.

Here's a few of the front entrance and sign on "Tepla."

This factory has signs on it saying "Tepla," which suggests that it was a heating plant of some kind, which seems odd for a town as small as Nachod. I've been looking for further information, and haven't had much luck. One thing I was wondering is whether the factory produced heaters, but the buildings are basically ruins now, so it's hard to tell.

The current Zamek Nachod dates to 1544, although its built on an earlier castle from the 13th Century, so it can be considered a rebuild. The tower was rebuilt in 1721 in response to storm damage. I'm not aware of the current owners, but the castle is open to the public for tours. It was closed for the winter when I was there, though, so I had to settle for photographs of the exterior.

This is the station at Nachod, which is surprisingly large for the town. In the background on the hill you can see the zamek.
