Baroque château in the Nymburk district, built between 1704 and 1713 by Karel Arnošt of Waldstein on the site of a medieval fortress. The estate passed through the Fürstenberg family before reaching the Thurn-Taxis, whose story is the central theme of the costumed tours. Notable past guests include Bedřich Smetana and Mark Twain. The English park is home to the Labyrintárium - a collection of 12 labyrinths and mazes, the only one of its kind in Europe. The château is open year-round and has a hotel and restaurants on site.
