Description was written before the event

A celebration marking the 900th anniversary of the restoration of the chapel on Říp. The event takes place at the Kulturní dům Říp in Roudnice nad Labem on 27 September 2026 at 10:30. Free admission.

About the venue: Kulturní dům Říp

Kulturní dům Říp stands on Husovo náměstí in a building commissioned in 1703-1709 by Mrs. Schmiedová as a seasonal manor house, likely designed by František Maxmilián Kaňka. Its resemblance to Bílina castle earned it the nickname "Bílinský zámeček"; from 1720 it belonged to the Roudnice branch of the Lobkowicz family. A theatre hall was added in 1878 to a design by Jan Zeyer. After a full reconstruction, the venue now houses a multi-purpose hall with retractable tiered seating, a 3D cinema, a café with a terrace overlooking the Bohemian Central Highlands, and spaces for balls, concerts and lectures.
