Benešov nad Ploučnicí Castle, Renaissance castle complex in Benešov nad Ploučnicí, Czech Republic
The castle complex consists of Upper and Lower Castles featuring distinct architectural elements with prominent features of Late Gothic and Saxon Renaissance styles.
The Von Salhausen family from Meissen commissioned the castle's construction in the early 16th century, transforming the medieval fortress into a Renaissance residence.
The interior exhibitions display period furniture, porcelain collections, weapons, paintings, and artifacts that demonstrate noble life during the 16th and 17th centuries.
The castle receives visitors from March through October, with guided tours available in multiple languages and specific routes through both Upper and Lower sections.
The castle structures remain largely unmodified since the 17th century, as no noble family maintained residence there after the Bohemian Revolt of 1621.
