Category: Baroque château

A representative Baroque château from 1724–1725, designed by architect František Maxmilián Kaňka for Count Trauttmansdorff. Today the ancestral seat of the Šternberk family. Nine halls, rooms and the Chapel of St. Joseph with frescoes, a 14-hectare English park with exotic trees and animals. A popular destination for school trips and family outings.

Why visit this place?

• The chateau burned down in 1754 and was rebuilt and refurnished; it has remained a typical aristocratic residence of the high Baroque period ever since.
• In July 1943 the Nazis confiscated the chateau and the owners had to hand it over to Oskar Danek von Esse; a landscape park of 16 hectares surrounds it.
• Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 1,367 visitors on Google Maps.
• Allow roughly 50 minutes; the programme is aimed at lower primary, upper primary and secondary students.
• There are 32 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
• The whole programme is indoors, so rain is not a problem.
