A costly reconstruction of the ground floor of Sokolov Castle has revealed a surprising historical feature—a shooting range, not a door, as initially expected. The discovery was made during renovations to the castle, which houses the Sokolov Museum. The museum is now preparing to open a new educational center, a museum research facility with an extensive library, and a smaller exhibition space named “Exposition for Free”. This new space will enhance the museum's offerings and provide further opportunities for public engagement with the castle’s history. The unexpected find adds another layer to the rich heritage of Sokolov Castle and will undoubtedly attract further interest in the landmark. Museum officials are excited to integrate this unique feature into the castle’s narrative.
