Do you know anything about a Castle Kocurek near Schulenburg, Texas?
I did a little research on the web and found out that:
Gary Kocurek and his wife, Dianna, are slowly building themselves a proper castle southeast of Austin. Both are “Tex-Czechs” and have traced their ancestry to an eastern part of the Czech Republic. They have established that some of their very distant ancestors belonged to a nomadic group known as the Vlachs. After visiting the famous Dracula Castle, Gary seems to have discovered a need for fortification (this is actually his second castle, for he built a tower keep in his backyard some years ago—sort of a warm-up effort).
Does anyone have more information about this castle?
