Ruins of Orphans castle in the Czech republic Legend says… The orphanage of the castle is connected with the legend of the Knight of Čičos, who belonged to the order of the Templars. Čičos was a manager of the castle living there with his wife and the staff. His wife Růžena was pregnant when Čičos receive the commanding order from the Templars. Due to the birth of his child Čičos refused the order. Čičos wife Růžena called for Godfather who came to the castle and named the child Orphanus (orphan) Soon after the birth of the child, The Godfather executed Čičos for the betrayal of the commanding order, making Orphanus a real orphan. He then executed all the inhabitants of the castle and left with the Orphanus. When Orphanus returned to the castle after many years, he found a single man - an old man who had once managed to escape the godfathers anger. The old man told him what had happened to his parents then Orphanus went mad and from then on he is riding a horse every night from the Orphans castle to Turold castle. The castle was built in the middle of the 13th century by the Swabian family Wehingen, founded by the knight Siegfried Sirotek. After the Wehingen family died, the castle in 1305 was held by King Wenceslas III, who was assassinated a year later. Then the castle got into the hands of Liechtenstein. In 1575 it was transferred to the hands of the Ditrichstein, and it was probably already deserted. Even though the 1560 urbarium does not mention the Orphan Castle, in 1590 he explicitly denotes it as desolate.
