Lovecký zámek Ohrada

Lovecký zámek Ohrada is a Baroque hunting lodge in Hluboká nad Vltavou with grand halls and ornate decorations typical of the period. The building features symmetrical architecture and now functions as a museum dedicated to forests and hunting traditions.

The Schwarzenberg family built this lodge as a hunting retreat and shaped it according to Baroque tastes of the time. It transformed into a museum in the 1840s and became one of Bohemia's earliest cultural institutions dedicated to its collections.

The lodge displays hunting weapons and forestry traditions that reflect how people here related to the forest and wildlife. The collections show how hunting and forest management were practiced and valued in this region.

The museum is open throughout the year and offers guided tours available in several languages for visitors. The location is easy to reach and provides information in different formats to help you understand the displays.

The museum displays furniture made entirely from deer antlers, showing a rare regional craft skill. These pieces are unusual and reveal how local artisans creatively used hunting materials.
