Duchcov Chateau, Neoclassical chateau in Duchcov, Czech Republic.
Duchcov Chateau is a three-story structure with neoclassical and baroque features set in the Czech countryside. Its rooms hold furniture, paintings, and historical objects spanning several centuries, displayed across numerous halls and chambers.
The structure began as a fortified castle in the 13th century, was rebuilt as a Renaissance palace in 1527, and later acquired baroque features. These transformations show how the building adapted to changing tastes and power among Bohemian nobility.
