Zámek, Křinec
from 150 Kč · ≈ 6 €
The exhibition "Three Men, Three Centuries, One Castle" traces three personalities connected to Křinec Castle across different periods. The exhibition was created in collaboration with the town of Křinec on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the change of ownership and the start of the castle's reconstruction.
The exhibition presents three eras: the 19th century with Antonín Stifter — a local pharmacist, researcher, and photographer; the 20th century with Leopold Nejl — a chronicler of Křinec and his period records; and the present day with Zdeněk Harapes — the current castle owner, whose reconstruction story is documented through photographs and before-and-after images. The exhibition runs from May to October 2026.
The programme includes guided tours with the castle owner and a series of four lectures:
- May 2 Why I Voluntarily Took On a Lifetime of Work
- July 4 A Castle Is Not a Fairy Tale: The Truth About Its Reconstruction
- September 26 Conservators, Projects, Permits, and Money: How Not to Lose Your Mind
- October 31 The Future of Křinec Castle: Dreams and Plans
The tour route includes the castle's historic and renovated sections with blue salons and a Baroque hall, as well as areas still awaiting reconstruction. For details and tour schedules, visit www.zamekkrinec.cz.
