Adršpach, Renaissance château in Dolní Adršpach, Czech Republic.
Adršpach is a Renaissance château with baroque architectural elements situated in Dolní Adršpach. Inside are a small museum and information center that offer insights into the region and its history.
A fortress of the Berka of Dubá family stood here before the château, which was probably built in 1596 by the Bohdanecký of Hodkov family. Adam Bohdanecký had it enlarged in the early 17th century, then died with his son and 39 others in an explosion at Jičín Castle during a dispute over part of the Smiřice estate. The Nádherný family, owners from 1828 to 1945, carried out a major rebuilding in 1886.
One floor of the château, opened to the public in 2014, holds a mountaineering museum; other floors show a historical exhibition and one on flax growing and weaving. Visitors can also play an escape game based on the fairy tale Třetí princ, filmed in the Adršpach rocks, and sit in the castle café.
The château is accessible by public transportation from Náchod, which lies to the south. Visitors should use local bus connections and expect some walking to reach the final stretch to the site.
The château's upper floor holds a climbing museum, opened when the building first welcomed the public in 2014. It documents sandstone climbing in the Adršpach rocks, and visitors can also try an escape game based on the fairy tale Třetí princ, filmed in those rocks.
