📍 Častolovice Palace

About the venue

A privately owned Renaissance castle in East Bohemia, tracing its roots to a medieval water fortress from the 13th century. It was rebuilt into its current form between 1588 and 1615 by the Oppersdorf family, and has belonged to the Sternberg family since 1694. The tour takes visitors through twenty rooms furnished from the Renaissance to the Biedermeier period, with the Knight's Hall (300 m²) and its original coffered ceiling as the centrepiece. The grounds include an English park with a white fallow deer enclosure, a rose garden, a mini-zoo and a gallery.
