Интересно. Город, в котором стоит замок, называется Мост, а в нем нет ни одного моста, мало того, в нем нет даже реки. Но славен он тем, что его перенесли с одного места на другое. Старый Мост стоял на пласту бурого угля. Уголь так высоко подходил к поверхности земли, что люди могли ходить в подвал и легко накопать себе ведерко угля для камина. Вот из-за этого дешевого угля город решили снести. Под горой, на которой находится королевский замок Гневин построили новый Мост, а со старого города перевезли на колесах старинный костел, ну и еще некоторые памятники, фонтаны, статуи…

В 1993 году Церковь Вознесения Девы Марии, один из двух уцелевших местных памятников архитектуры (второй – замок Гневин), вошла в Книгу рекордов Гиннесса как самое тяжёлое из когда-либо перемещавшихся строений – ее вынуждены были перенести в другое место, когда началось строительство шахт.
