Puchart
Czechia
The name on your map is itself a small puzzle. This ruin, south-east of the town of Potštát in the Přerov district, goes by several names: Potštát, Puchart, Sudetský zámek, or Pustý zámek, the deserted castle. It was probably called Potštát in its working life. At the start of the nineteenth century the writer Josef Heřman Gallaš mistakenly labelled it Purchart, and the name stuck in altered forms. So when you arrive at Puchart, you are standing in a place whose popular name rests on an error, and whose original name now belongs to the town down the road.
