Castle candle holder

This fairy tale by Czech poet Karel Šiktanc is full of mystery and takes you into a secretive world. Retired soldier Janek Kulhánek is searching for a trooper nicknamed Svícínek, who saved his life in the war. Nobody knows where he lives, but rumours say he has something to do with Svícen Castle. However, the castle has been deserted for years. What is more, strange things happen there – it might be haunted, as lights are often spotted inside. The locals prefer to give the castle a wide berth, but Janek is not afraid of anything – he has nothing to lose! From his meeting with the Lord of Svícen, he learns that a family used to live in the castle. Yet, everyone prefers to forget even their name. The castle is shrouded in a great secret connected with the war, the gardener Terezka, and a misunderstanding between a father and son. Will Janek manage to unravel the strange history of this mysterious place?
