Zimburg Locations

Text

Settlement in the area dates back to the late Stone Age (about 3000 BC). Today, however, only traces of an early medieval fortified settlement remain in the form of remnants of moats and visible ramparts.
Some historians (as well as folk legends) claim that Zimburg (Cimburk) Castle, owned by the Lords of Zimburg, once stood here and was even perhaps their ancestral home. Later, the descendants of the family built two more castles with the same name: Cimburk in Trnávka and Nový Cimburk in Koryčany.
Unfortunately nothing remains from the original castle. Hence why some historians claim that such a castle never stood here and the settlement rather got its name from the nearby mine that belonged to the Zimburg family. Nevertheless, we decided to depict it in the game.
