Mnichovo Hradiště Castle, Baroque château in Mnichovo Hradiště, Czech Republic
Description
Mnichovo Hradiště Castle is a Baroque complex located beside the Jizera River with stables, a riding school, carriage house, and salla terrena forming a complete ensemble. All these structures together create the picture of how a noble household operated and maintained itself.
History
The site began as a Renaissance fortress but was rebuilt in 1606 by Václav Budovec. The Valdštejn family later acquired it and transformed it into the Baroque château that stands today.
Culture
The castle contains a notable collection of Dutch paintings displayed throughout its rooms, reflecting how nobility expressed their taste and refinement. These works remain part of the interior decoration just as they were centuries ago.
Practical
The castle opens to visitors throughout the year with guided tours available through the preserved rooms and interiors. Allow time to explore the 18th-century theatre, which retains its original furnishings and equipment.
