Lemberk Castle

Lemberk Castle is a fortress near Lvová in the Czech Republic featuring Renaissance and Baroque architectural elements that rise above the surrounding Lusatian landscape. A distinctive cylindrical tower dominates the exterior and is visible from the surrounding area.

The castle was founded in the 1240s by Havel of Markvartice and served as a noble residence for generations. In the late 16th century it underwent transformation under the Lords of Breda, who gave it Renaissance features.

The castle houses a museum displaying period furniture, Renaissance paintings, and architectural elements collected over centuries. Visitors can experience how the nobility lived through the rooms and objects preserved inside.

Access is through a stone bridge leading to the courtyard where visitors can purchase tickets and begin their visit. The castle operates best during the warmer months when tours are regularly available and the grounds are fully accessible.

Within the castle grounds stands Saint Zdislava's well, named after a 13th-century noblewoman who became patron saint of the Liberec region. This spot connects the secular and sacred history of the location in an unexpected way.
