Středočeský kraj, Okres Mělník,
We have visited this famous Urbex castle, located near Mělník, before the new owner bought it. We had already heard that it was probably already secured and that the people taking care of it were quite aggressive. But today we saw it for ourselves. I would just like to stress that we did not go into the castle, which has no trespassing signs around it, out of respect for the people trying to save it. But on our last visit we missed a couple of buildings located outside its walls and since today was a drive by we decided to...

We have visited this famous Urbex castle, located near Mělník, before the new owner bought it. We had already heard that it was probably already secured and that the people taking care of it were quite aggressive. But today we saw it for ourselves. I would just like to stress that we did not go into the castle, which has no trespassing signs around it, out of respect for the people trying to save it. But on our last visit we missed a couple of buildings located outside its walls and since today was a drive by we decided to take a peek. We came along a path where we didn't have to climb over a fence or pass a no trespassing sign (yes we saw it, but it was located just behind the buildings we wanted to enter and prohibited access to the "castle site". Since the construction site was not marked in any way, we figured it was the sign that marked it and it starts after it) We entered the building through the wide open door, walked through the few accessible rooms and quietly left the same way. ( I don't rate whether we had anything to do there or not, I think every urbexer knows the risks and knows they are on thin ice. I'm not addressing the fact that the owner is policing his property, I fully understand that. (I'm only addressing his behavior...) As we were sitting in the car getting ready to leave a van pulled up and the driver confronted us about what we were doing there. Of course we tried to apologize and explain our penchant for urbex as politely as possible. Unfortunately it was futile, he wouldn't even let us finish. After a while he said that if he saw us again he would beat us up or shoot us, that he didn't care. My still polite response by asking him if it was necessary for him to threaten us with death here led him to shouting and swearing at the oxen. After our last effort to calm the situation by saying "sorry but don't yell at us" he started to climb out of the car and all indications were that he wanted to confront us physically and not just verbally. At that moment my friend hit the accelerator and drove off, which was probably the most sensible solution, otherwise the situation would have only escalated more...
WITH THIS POST I JUST WANT TO WARN OTHER URBEXERS NOT TO GO TO THE CASTLE OR ITS SURROUNDINGS.
Apart from our, still relatively calm, incident, I read on one urbex group about another group of urbexers who were probably attacked by the same person with an iron bar. I guess it's not really worth it...

Tenhle známý urbexový zámek, nacházející se u Mělníka, jsme navštívili už dříve, před tím, než ho koupil nový majitel. To, že už je nejspíš zabezpečený a lidé, co se o něj starají jsou pomerně agresivní, jsme zachlechli už dříve. Dnes jsme se o tom ale presvedčili na vlastní oči. Chtěl bych jen zdrůraznit, že do zámku, kolem kterého jsou cedule se zákazem vstupu jsme z respektu k lidem, kteří se ho snaží zachránit nešli. Ale při naší poslední návstěvě jsme vynechali pár budov nacházejicích se mimo jeho zdi a jelikož dnes byla cesta kolem rozhodli jsme se tam nakouknout. Přišli jsme cestou, po které jsme nemuseli ani přelézat plot, ani přejít kolem cedule se zákazem vstupu (ano viděli jsme ji, ale nacházela se těsně za budovami, do kterých jsme chtěli a zakazovala vstup na “staveniště zámku”. Jelikož ono staveniště nebylo nijak označeno, usoudili jsme za ho označují právě cedule a začína až za nimi) Do budovy jsme vstoupili dokořán otevrěnými dveřmi, prošli pár přístupných místností a v klidu odešli stejnou cestou. ( to jestli jsme tam měli co dělat, nebo ne nehodnotím, myslím, že každý urbexer zná rizika a ví, že se pohybuje na tenkém ledě. Neřeším to, že si majitel hlídá svůj pozemek, to plně chápu. Řeším pouze, jeho chování…) Když už jsme seděli v autě a chystali se k odjezdu přiřítila se dodávka a řidič nás konfrontoval s tím, co jsme tam dělali. Samozřejmě jsme se snažili co nejslušněji omluvit a vysvětlit naší zálibu v urbexu. Bohužel to bylo marné, nenechal nás pomalu ani domluvit. Po chvíli řekl, že pokud nás ještě jednou uvidí, tak nás zmlátí, nebo klidně postřílí, že prý je mu to jedno. Má pořád slušná reakce otázkou, jestli je nutné aby nám zde vyhrožoval smrtí ho přivedla ke křiku a nadávkám do volů. Po naší poslední snaze o zklidnění situace v podobě věty “pardon ale neřvěte na nás” začal vylézat z auta a vše nasvědčovalo tomu, že nás chce konfrontovat fyzicky a ne jen slovně. V ten moment kamarád sešlápl plyn a odjel, což bylo asi nejrozumnější řešení, situace by se jinak akorát víc eskalovala…
TÍMTO PŘÍSPĚVKEM CHCI POUZE VAROVAT OSTATNÍ URBEXERY, ABY DO ZÁMKU, ANI JEHO OKOLÍ RADĚJI NECHODILI.
Krom našeho, ještě poměrně klidného, incidentu jsem na jedné urbex skupině četl o jiné partě urbexerů, na které tam nejspíš stejný člověk zaůtočil s železnou tyčí. Řekl bych, že to za to opravdu nestojí…
