Archaeologists uncover Baron Liebieg’s treasure at Nový Falkenburk chateau

Archaeologists have unearthed a treasure buried by Baron Liebieg’s family in the garden of the Nový Falkenburk chateau in Jablonné v Podještědí. Hidden in three crates were a silver kitchen set, several firearms, and bottles of wine, buried at the end of World War II before the family’s expulsion to Germany. The find contains about 50 kilograms of silver and roughly 400 items marked with the Liebieg coat of arms. The artifacts will be restored and later displayed in the North Bohemian Museum in Liberec. Descendant Angelika Wiegenerová said she was delighted the objects were preserved for the public.
