A Utah man claims he and his family are the rightful owners of a castle in Latvia — and he says he has hundreds of years of family records to prove it.
Jakob von Rosen, of Sandy, said he learned of the opportunity to reclaim his European family heirlooms and property, including castles, while he was in Germany celebrating the centennial event of Leica. He and his family had owned several shares of the German camera company until it was sold in 1996.
"From what I have gathered talking to people in important positions here, they all think that Jakob isn't entirely serious and this is just a farce," Anna Kol, a reporter for the Latvian newspaper, "Druva," said in correspondence with KSL.com. The Utah man found that his mother was a direct descendant of the von Rosen family, and that, as her son, he had a moral right to still claim the castle. However, whether he has the legal right to obtain the property, Kol said, remains to be seen.
The Utahn noted that while there isn't written approval from the Latvian government accepting his claim, they "already have some verbal agreements in place."
