Loket is a medieval town located in the west of Bohemia, in the bend of the Ohře river. The name of the town most probably refers to this bend as its Czech name means "elbow". The most important monument located in the town is the 12th-century castle where tourists can admire the exhibition of porcelain, frescoes from the 15th century, as well as visit the terrifying torture chamber and prison cells. It is also worth seeing the church of St Wenceslas, the Black Tower and the early-Baroque town hall. The Czech town of Loket witnessed also unhappy love of seventy-year-old Johann Wolfgang Goethe for the baroness Ulrike von Levetzov. The town was also used to portray Montenegro in the film Casino Royale.
