Its Original Name Was Herberg.
The original German name of the castle—Hörberg, Herberch, or Herberg—indicates the building’s age, as it refers to a shelter where soldiers sought refuge in times of danger or a simple roadside sanctuary, common along medieval roads.
The current name, Podsreda, has no connection to its original name. It likely refers to the market and court days held in the settlement below the castle.
