Opočno Castle

The palace features outer arcades, Renaissance architecture elements, and a 22-hectare English garden containing ponds, waterfalls, and uncommon tree species.

The initial fortified settlement from 1068 transformed into a Gothic castle, later reconstructed in Renaissance style between 1560 and 1567 by Vilém Trčka.

The castle museum displays historical interiors, an extensive library, ethnographic collections, and an armory containing weapons from the 16th to 19th centuries.

The castle provides guided tours, parking facilities, and amenities for cyclists, while the castle park remains closed for maintenance until November 2024.

The Well Tower stands as the sole remaining structure from the medieval castle period, marking the architectural evolution through different historical periods.
