Mnichovo Hradiště Castle

The castle complex includes stables, a riding school, carriage house, and salla terrena, forming a complete noble residence near the Jizera River.

The Renaissance fortress, rebuilt in 1606 by Václav Budovec, later became property of the Valdštejn family who transformed it into a Baroque château.

The castle houses a substantial library of 22,000 volumes, once managed by Giacomo Casanova, alongside a collection of 111 Dutch paintings.

The castle welcomes visitors throughout the year, offering guided tours through its preserved interiors, including an 18th-century theatre with original props.

In 1833, the castle hosted the meeting of the Saint Alliance, bringing together the rulers of Austria, Russia, and Prussia for diplomatic discussions.
