Nový Haimhausen Castle, Romantic château in Broumov, Czech Republic.
Nový Haimhausen is a two-story villa designed in Romantic style, situated near Hamerský Creek in Broumov. The building displays the characteristic features of this period, with decorative details and careful attention to design throughout its structure.
The settlement of Nový Haimhausen was founded by Zikmund von Haimhausen, administrator of the Chodová Planá estate from 1724 to 1793, to support local ironworking. The hunting lodge itself was built in the 1870s by Johan Ernst von Berchem-Haimhausen under master builder A. Libel. After 1945 the area became part of Broumov, and the building later served as the administrative office of a pioneer camp.
The castle reflects how 19th-century nobility expressed their taste for comfort and nature by creating country retreats away from city life. You can sense this philosophy in how the building was positioned to take advantage of its surroundings.
The property remains in private ownership and visits require advance arrangements. Planning ahead is necessary to visit, as the building is not open to the public without prior authorization.
